Clone

Information

A clone is (usually) a biological copy of another biological entity. Clones can be produced to be exact replicas with short lifespans, as the Fourth Doctor did for himself and Leela at the Bi-Al Foundation. (DW: The Invisible Enemy) Or they can be clones of individual cells which are grown up into a useable organism, as Cassandra O'Brien did for herself following the destruction of her 'front' on Platform One. (DW: New Earth)

Uses of Cloning

A clone of Martha Jones was made by the Sontarans to obtain an insider of United Nations Intelligence Taskforce. They used the clone to try and stop the Doctor interfering with the conversion of the Earth's Atmosphere and their invasion. (DW: The Sontaran Stratagem/The Poison Sky)

Races which use Cloning

The Sontarans are also a clone race, making each Sontaran almost identical to the other, however the Sontarans have altered their biology during their long war with the Rutans to make them more formidable in battle. (PDA: The Infinity Doctors).
