En los libros de texto figuran asimismo las variantes clonado, clonamiento y clonaje. Hay quienes desaconsejan el uso de esta última por tacharla de galicismo derivado de "clonage" en francés [...] De todas las variantes (clonación, clonado, clonamiento y clonaje) sólo la primera está registrada en el diccionario académico. Dése preferencia, pues, a la voz clonación. 3, record 2, Spanish, - clonaci%C3%B3n
