Summary Introduction

To explain: Whether cloning and genetic engineering are the same.

Introduction: Cloning is a technique where the nucleus from the somatic cell is placed in an unfertilized egg. This unfertilized egg is implanted in a surrogate. The resulting offspring is the exact genetic copy of the host organism that gave the somatic cell nucleus. Genetic engineering is where biotechniques are used to modify or manipulate genes in an organism to make it free of diseases or increase its quality and quantity.
