Cellular Cloning

This video presents the same text shown beside it, spoken and on screen. It adds nothing the text does not say.

State

Cellular cloning is the natural production of genetically identical cell populations, as when a unicellular organism replicates asexually by binary fission.

Show

A bacterium dividing by binary fission produces two daughter cells with the same DNA sequence as the original cell.

Watch for

Cellular cloning describes single cells reproducing identical copies of themselves — reproducing a whole multicellular organism is a separate process.
