A farmer is considering the advantages of cloning a herd of cattle from a single cow. What is one advantage of a cloned herd?

• All cattle in the herd would have the most desired traits.

• All cattle in the herd would have more genetic variation.

• All cattle in the herd would have more resistance to diseases.

• All cattle in the herd would have much longer life spans.
