They take a cell and replace the nucleus of it, the part with the DNA - which is the "pattern" from which the organism is built as it develops - and replace it with material from another animal. That animal then develops according to the plan of the original, and you end up with a duplicate animal - a clone.

Cloning is the process of making a genetically identical organism through nonsexual means. It has been used for many years to produce plants (even growing a plant from a cutting is a type of cloning). Animal cloning has been the subject of scientific experiments for years, but garnered little attention until the birth of the first cloned mammal in 1997, a sheep named Dolly. Since Dolly, several scientists have cloned other animals, including cows and mice. The recent success in cloning animals has sparked fierce debates among scientists, politicians and the general public about the use and morality of cloning plants, animals and possibly humans.

Imagine, You have 2 cells.
You have a Cell A with DNA.
And You also have another cell B without no DNA.
Now, you suck out the DNA from the nucleus from Cell A.
And you placed the DNA to cell B without the DNA.
Let it grow, and there you go. Clone is formed.
Cloning works by make copy of something, to produce an exact or near copy of an object or product
