Have you ever wondered what you would do if you could make a clone of yourself? Most scientists believe that it is very possible to do so by understanding the genetic make-up of a person though it has not been made possible. Well, I won't say it has not been done, cuz there is already a cloned sheep you probably know about. Do you need some help understanding DNA replication? Take this quiz with answers and refresh your memory before the test.
