i want to know that by cloning is it possible that the clone of 25 year old man which is created now is also of 25 year or it would be a 1 day baby
when we take a sample of 25 year old person to make a clone , when the whole procedure is completed is that clone is a adult of 25 year or baby of 1

Do you know how clone is made?
You take the nucleus of a person and put in the ovum whose nucleus has been removed. Then you let it develop. The moment this happens the differentiated nucleus of 25 yr person becomes dedifferentiated and the nuclear genes begin to differentiate afresh. This is done to control the phases of development as if it was a fresh embryo. If the nucleus becomes dedifferentiated, then how does it matter whether it was taken form a 25 yr, old person or 50 yr old person?

A baby. Genetically they would be exactly the same, but the clone would still only be a day old; in 25 years it would be identical to the man in the present, but by that time he would be 50.
Some people said things like "it would be a baby with a 25 year old man's genes"... this is an incorrect statement. The word "gene" refers to a segment of DNA; DNA does not reflect age. You do not gain or loose chromosomes as you age, though some may be put into use or stop working later in life. The clone baby and the man would have identical chromosomes, making them the same person, though their bodies will obviously be at different stages of development, and their minds at different levels of maturity.

it would be a baby but it would have the dna of the 25 year old and so it would be a complete copy of the man as the baby grows up they would look like twins just 1 would be 25 years older the baby would look exactly the same as the 25 year old man did as he grew up and when hes 25 then he will look the same as the man that was 25 when the cloning was done :)

Dear friend,
The answer is... both! Chronologically, the clone would be a 1-day-old baby. But the "baby's" DNA would be 25 years old.

the clone of 25 years old person is of 25 years. because the cell is taken from a 25 years old person. this is because of cell death or cell ageing (apatosis)

you must know that clone cells in the same age of the cells that it cloned from
clone have his cells at the age 25 years but in size of baby because DNA of our cells changes as we become older so cloning take that changed DNA in the cells and clone a new individual has in his cells the changed DNA but in the size of the beginning of life

technically he would be 25 years old but have the maturity of a one year old i guess.

Well... technically, his genes would be that of a 25 year old man... in a baby's body... creeepy.
