Which one of the following statements is true about the members of a clone? A) Members of a clone will always show identical features at maturity. B) Multiple births, such as twins, are always members of a clone. C) They contain identical DNA D) They are produced only during genetic engineering. E) They are the result of a mutation.
Question
Which one of the following statements is true about the members of a clone?
A) Members of a clone will always show identical features at maturity. B) Multiple births, such as twins, are always members of a clone. C) They contain identical DNA D) They are produced only during genetic engineering. E) They are the result of a mutation.
Solution
The statement "C) They contain identical DNA" is true about the members of a clone. Clones are organisms that are exact genetic copies. Every single bit of their DNA is identical. Clones can happen naturally—identical twins are just one of many examples. Or they can be made in the lab.

10Text 1Cloning raises profound challenges regarding matters of identity and individuality. The cloned individual may grapple with uncertainties surrounding their unique sense of self, not solely due to their identical genotype and physical resemblance to another human being but, notably in this instance, because they may also assume the roles of “father” or “mother”—if such terms remain applicable. Comparisons between the clone’s life achievements and those of the source are expected to persist.Text 2What would a clone be? Well, they would be a complete human being who happens to share the same genes with another person. Today, we call such people identical twins. To my knowledge, no one has argued that twins are immoral. “You should treat all clones like you would treat all monozygous [identical] twins or triplets,” concludes Dr. H. Tristam Engelhardt. 10 Mark For Review10Based on the texts, how would author of text 2 respond to the argument made in the text 1?A) By suggesting that the experience of identical twins could serve as a deterrent to scientists pursuing the cloning B) By denouncing the ethical implications of parental figures serving as the source of their cloned twinC) By drawing a parallel between a natural relationship and an artificial one to challenge the presented argumentD) By opposing it on the grounds that the relationship between twins is no different than that of parent-child
