clones
Identical biological replicas
Clones are genetically identical copies of a living thing—produced naturally (as with identical twins) or artificially through laboratory techniques.
The word extends to any close copy: The company released a series of iPhone clones.
In science fiction, clones are often artificially grown duplicates of humans.
To clone is to create such copies: Scientists cloned the sheep from adult cells.
