noun. A group of cells or organisms that are descended from and genetically identical to a single progenitor, such as a bacterial colony whose members arose from a single original cell.

noun. An organism developed asexually from another and genetically identical to it, such as an animal produced from an egg cell into which the nucleus of an adult individual has been transferred.

noun. A DNA sequence, such as a gene, that is transferred from one organism to another and replicated by genetic engineering techniques.

noun. One that copies or closely resembles another, as in appearance or function.

intransitive verb. To make multiple identical copies of (a DNA sequence).

intransitive verb. To create or propagate (an organism) from a clone cell.

transitive verb. to make a clone from; to make identical copies of an organism by a non-sexual process of reproduction.

transitive verb. to grow colonies of a microorganism by spreading a suspension of the microorganism onto a solid growth medium (such as in a Petri dish), at a concentration such that individual colonies will grow from single cells sufficiently well separated from other colonies so that pure cultures derived from a single organism can be isolated.

transitive verb. to make large quantities of a segment of DNA by inserting it, using biochemical techniques, into the DNA of a microorganism, and growing that microorganism in large numbers.

noun. a group of organisms derived from a single individual by some kind of asexual reproduction; -- used mostly of microorganisms such as bacteria and yeast.

noun. an individual organism containing a genetic complement identical to that of another organism, produced by using the genetic material from the second animal in a non-sexual reproduction process.

noun. something virtually identical to another object.

noun. A living organism (originally a plant) produced asexually from a single ancestor, to which it is genetically identical.

noun. A copy or imitation of something already existing, especially when designed to simulate it.

verb. To create a clone.
