Clonage naturel-Dans la nature, le clonage n’ est rien de plus qu'un mode de reproduction parmi tous ceux à la disposition des êtres vivants. C'est même le plus répandu puisqu'il concerne toutes les cellules procaryotes(division), presque tous les eucaryotes unicellulaires(mitose) à l'exception de ceux qui pratiquent la reproduction sexuée(faisant intervenir la méïose), mais également de nombreux végétaux et animaux multicellulaires. 2, record 2, French, - clonage%20naturel
