Clones are organisms that are exact copies of each other genetically, not one bit of DNA is different.

Natural clones   

Identical twins are clones of each other, but clones can also be artificially made. 
 

Artificial clones

There are three different types of artificial clones.
 
  • Gene Cloning- Creating exact copies of segments of DNA.

  • Reproductive Cloning-Creating a copy of a whole animal.

  • Therapeutic Cloning- Creating embryonic stem cells that can be used to for many medical purposes
