A waiver is a formal statement giving up a right. If you go on a school trip, your mom might sign a waiver saying that the school is not responsible if you get hurt on the trip. When you sign a waiver, youâre voluntarily giving up a privilege or legal right. A waiver is often required before you participate in something dangerous.
Strictly speaking, cloning is the creation of a genetic copy of a sequence of DNA or of the entire genome of an organism. In the latter sense, cloning occurs naturally in the birth of identical twins and other multiples.
Cloning is a method of recombining genes in order to take advantage of a bacteria's native ability to recreate plasmids. Engineered plasmids can be used to clone genetic material of up to 10,000 base pairs, the amount of genetic material is limited by the size of the plasmid.
