can different genes be cloned from divergent morphologic growths expressed on the same plant
say where first branch has certain features
the second has additive features
the third branch has different features again
all progressivly and morphologically divergent
that when cloned will they hold the genetical characteristic of the parental branch?
or will each develop as per the morp of the complete parental doner plant?
can the undiferentiated genes be clonally passed on retaining the preceedant developed charecter sequence?
any instances reported?

thankyou for your kind reply regarding methodoligy of cloning ,but i breed from seeds
the question was a hypothetical that i was checking for practicality in explaing the tree of life ,my theory is the tree was shredded into bits and given adam and eve that they could make thier daily bread from the herb of living/herb of the field ,ie living clones from the tree of life

It is essential that your cuttings (sometimes referred to as clones or slips) be taken from healthy plants.

Water quality is of prime concern in hydroponic growing. All plants differ in their preference of pH range. Find out the pH range for your particular plant.

As a general rule of thumb, a pH range of 5.5 to 6.5 is best for most plants. Check your pH level daily and adjust to proper level.

If using rockwool as your growing medium, pre-treat your medium with cloning solution and adjust to appropriate pH level. Some rockwool is high in alkaline - 8.0 to 8.5. The pH will vary between different manufactures.

Be gentle when taking cuttings. They can shock easily when cut.

Always use a sterile growing medium; be it rockwool, soil, vermiculite, perlite, sand, etc. Never use soil from your garden.

Always keep tools clean to avoid transmitting disease to open plant wounds. Sterilize them before each use if possible.
