Answer:

Yes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Yes, cloning is a form of asexual reproduction because there is no fusion of sperm and eggs takes place. the animal which is formed from this process is identical of that organism because it is produced from the tissue of that single animal. in 1996, first mammal is produced from cloning was sheep named dolly at the Roslin Institute in Scotland. In cloning, the egg is taken from female organism and remove the nucleus from the egg then the desired organism cell is taken and fuse with the nucleus with the help of electricity. Then implant this embryo in the body of first organism from where egg is taken and after that the embryo turns into a baby, this process is called cloning.
