Depending on the method used, cloning can generate identical copies of either prokaryotic or eukaryotic cells. In prokaryotes, such as bacteria, cloning can be achieved through binary fission or by using techniques like transformation, conjugation, or transduction to introduce and replicate the DNA of the original cell in a new host cell. In eukaryotes, cloning can be achieved through various techniques such as somatic cell nuclear transfer, inducible pluripotent stem cell formation, or gene editing using CRISPR/Cas9 technology.
