During the cloning process, DNA from a cell from the organism
planned to be duplicated is placed under the microscope and implant-
ed into an egg of another of the same species. The DNA of the organ-
ism whose copying is being planned is employed for this process.
Immediately afterwards, an electric shock causes the egg cell to start di-
viding. The developing embryo is placed inside the womb of a female
member of that particular species, and its growth and birth are then
awaited.
First off, cloning and evolution are completely different concepts.
The theory of evolution is based on the claim that life came into exis-
tence from inanimate matter as the result of chance (though there is ab-
solutely no evidence to suggest that this claim might be true). Cloning,
on the other hand, is the replication of a living thing by using genetic
material from a living cell-a biological process repeated by artificial
means in a laboratory environment. In other words, there is no chance
