Clone ProgenyClone Progeny = Any animal derived from sexual = Any animal derived from sexual reproduction that has a clone as at least one parent. reproduction that has a clone as at least one parent. Specifically excludes clones of clones. (P= Progeny)Specifically excludes clones of clones. (P= Progeny)
In general, clones and genetically engineered animals occupy different “risk spaces”.
