It is better to reproductively clone animals that have useful characteristics instead of breeding them in the traditional way because
A) the embryo develops more quickly when it is reproductively cloned.
B) the variation caused by sexual reproduction may affect the useful characteristic in traditional breeding.
C) the reproductively cloned embryo requires less DNA because it is haploid.
D) a traditionally bred animal requires more food.

Traditional breeding involves genetic variation due to sexual reproduction, which may affect the expression of useful characteristics. Reproductive cloning ensures that the offspring will have identical genetic material, minimizing variation and ensuring the preservation of the desired traits.
