This document discusses three social issues related to reproduction: cloning, rapid population growth, and the use of fertility drugs. It defines cloning as the process of producing genetically identical organisms asexually from a single ancestor, and notes rapid population growth refers to increases in the number of people inhabiting an area. The document also explains fertility drugs are medications that enhance fertility by stimulating ovarian follicle development in women or ovarian activity more broadly.

- 6. CLONING 1.A cell, group of cells, or organism that is descended from and genetically identical to a single common ancestor, such as a bacterial colony whose members arose from a single original cell. 2.An organism descended asexually from a single ancestor, such as a plant produced by layering or a polyp produced by budding. 3.A DNA sequence, such as a gene, that is transferred from one organism to another and replicated by genetic engineering techniques.
- 7. Population growth Increase in the number of people who inhabit a territory or state increment ,growth,increase- a process of becoming larger or longer or more numerous or more important; "the increase in unemployment"; "the growth of population"
