Definition: A living organism (originally a plant) produced asexually from a single ancestor, to which it is genetically identical.
Alright class, settle down and let’s take a look,
At this word “clone,” a concept we must cook!
The dictionary gives us a helpful clue,
“A living organism, born anew!”
It starts with one – a single start, you see,
An ancestor unique, for all to agree.
“Asexually produced,” that’s the key, it's true,
No mixing of genes, just copies for you!
Genetically identical, let that sink in slow,
Like two peas in a pod, a perfect echo.
Think of a flower, blooming bright and bold,
From one little seed, a story to be told.
Or maybe a starfish, splitting with grace,
Creating new copies in its rightful place!
So a clone is a copy, precise and neat,
A twin in creation, wonderfully complete.
Do you have any questions? Let’s discuss it with glee,
Now who can tell me, what a clone might be?
