    process of creating an exact genetic replica of an organism

    Cloning is the process of creating an exact genetic replica of a biological entity, such as a cell, tissue, or entire organism. This is achieved by copying the DNA of the original entity, resulting in a new organism or cell that has the same genetic material. In the context of hair and alopecia, cloning could potentially be used to replicate hair follicles to treat hair loss.
