cloned

Reproduced without mating

Cloned describes something produced as a genetically identical copy of another organism or, by extension, any exact duplicate.

A cloned sheep shares its donor's DNA.

In computing, a cloned hard drive contains an exact copy of another's data.

Figuratively, cloned suggests mass-produced sameness: The strip mall was lined with cloned storefronts.
