The answer

CLONE

What clone means

An identical genetic copy of an organism created artificially in a laboratory, or more broadly, something that is an exact duplicate or imitation of something else.

Where the word comes from

Clone comes from the Greek word "klon," meaning "twig" or "slip" of a plant. In the early 20th century, biologists adopted it to describe organisms produced asexually from a single parent, since they grow from the parent like a cutting propagates from a branch. The term was popularized in genetics and later in popular culture after the 1996 cloning of Dolly the sheep.
