Are clones always the same gender?

No, not at all. A clone produces offspring by sexual reproduction just like any other animal.

Can you make a female clone of yourself?

Yes, but only for a female version of the male, not the other way around. A normal male has two sex chromosomes, an X from his mother and a Y from his father; a normal female has two X chromosomes, one from each parent.

Is a clone a sibling or child?

Your clone most closely approximates your identical twin, if you are the same age. If your clone is a baby, it will grow up to look like your identical twin. However, you are not siblings, since your clone does not have the same parents you do.

Can clones be opposite gender?

While clones and most other sorts of sci-fi duplicates are identical to the original character and, by definition, the same sex, exceptions do exist. Merely being of the opposite sex of his or her original greatly increases the chance of the clone surviving the denouement and showing up in a future story.

Can males be cloned?

Are clones technically siblings?

“Parent” conveys the notion of a generation between the clone and the source. On the other hand, in terms of the number of genes in common, a clone might better be thought of as a sibling. Ordinarily a parent gives a copy of half its genes to the child, the other parent supplying the other half.
