Solution

D. The clone would have identical genetic traits but differ in the traits the original acquired during its life.

This is because cloning involves creating an exact genetic replica of the original animal. This means that the clone would have the same genetic traits as the original animal. However, acquired traits, which are traits that the original animal developed in response to its environment and experiences, cannot be passed on through DNA and therefore cannot be cloned. So, the clone and the original animal could potentially have different acquired traits.

10Text 1Cloning raises profound challenges regarding matters of identity and individuality. The cloned individual may grapple with uncertainties surrounding their unique sense of self, not solely due to their identical genotype and physical resemblance to another human being but, notably in this instance, because they may also assume the roles of “father” or “mother”—if such terms remain applicable. Comparisons between the clone’s life achievements and those of the source are expected to persist.Text 2What would a clone be? Well, they would be a complete human being who happens to share the same genes with another person. Today, we call such people identical twins. To my knowledge, no one has argued that twins are immoral. “You should treat all clones like you would treat all monozygous [identical] twins or triplets,” concludes Dr. H. Tristam Engelhardt. 10 Mark For Review10Based on the texts, how would author of text 2 respond to the argument made in the text 1?A) By suggesting that the experience of identical twins could serve as a deterrent to scientists pursuing the cloning  B) By denouncing the ethical implications of parental figures serving as the source of their cloned twinC) By drawing a parallel between a natural relationship and an artificial one to challenge the presented argumentD) By opposing it on the grounds that the relationship between twins is no different than that of parent-child
