If midichlorians are like mitochondria then they would be cloned, as they are an organelle in the cell. As Qui-gon said "in your cells" in response to Ani's "they live inside me?". That makes a lot of sense, especially if one looks in the EU at Luuke (from the Thrawn Trilogy) or (ack) the Cloned Emperor (in Dark Empire).

Jeid Mom sent me a link to an article on Theforce.net concerning Midiclorians. George had patterned the Midis right off of known ceulluar material, Mitichondria. He changed enough to make them seem more fanciful, but that's the critter he based midichlorians from. Now weather or not our mitochondria have that manner of properties, that's unknown. The universe and the people in it(human and non-human) are fearfully and wonderfully made. We hadn't even scratched the surface of the physics, biology medical or even quantum phycis in all it's disciplines. We'er jsut finding out even now that the laws of physics aren't as 'static' as some think. FOr the lack of the correct term, they are 'pliable' under the right conditions.
Here's an example of the wildness and coolness of even the most simplistic 'appearing' item. DNA. Too see it in person it appears like a clear bundle of snot. when it's been through the right procedures to get enough of it together for analisis. That ' snot'looking stuff, is made up of I think 6 chemicals. ladder rungs of Adenene(mispeleld probably) Gynene(this too.:-)) Cyctosense(pardonn, my spelling rots.), and the final one's moniker I can't recall. yet I 'see' the name in my mind. The sides of said sturcture are held up with phossphaites and suagrs. I may have gotten a few chemicals goofed up or juxtaposed. I hadn't read thsi material in over ten years. SO if anyone has the correct chemcial positions, and names, go ahead and post them.:-) Ok so there's these chemicals, making this very strange looking item here. Then you see chromosomes. Those are the freakiest yet. They look like mini hairballs and squiggles some kid did or a fridge art. Until you zoom in on a slice of the trangled hairball they organise, even clsoer they appear to be in coils stacked on top of eachother. Looking like stacked film canisters you'd see if you walked into the movie archieves spieng reel upon reel of film. Such an extremely TINY capsule of data to hosue everything a single human being has. Now if that doesn't give someone a brain cramp nuttin' will but eating a 1/2 gallon of ice cream.:-D (Or a brain freeze. :-) ) One woudl never know that a bundle of clear snot dangling froma pipette would be capable of housing ALL your gentic data from conception to death. Amazing but dude, VERY humbling.
God takes the weak thigns of this world to confound the wise.
If we can figure out how thisdata storage is actualy done, it'd be a great way to store data.
Now al of that to come to Mitocondria. Those are even smaller then the cell they liv ein. and I think there's more then one fo them in a cell. They'er liek batteries I think. They'run' off of suagrs, carbohydraites. But the right type of suagrs and carbs. Wrong kinds will wack them up.. That's probably why the jedi were eating so well and focused so much on proper diet, and excersis. Evne though many mitocondria makes cells oxidadize, they do aid in bringing oxygen IN to the muscles and such around them.
I cna attest to proper diet and excersis doing amazing things for endurance. It seemed as if I were solar powered and could out run, out lift and out last people twice my size. Age didn't matter.
For some folksI think theior mitochondria are coffee or mountian Dew powered. :-D

Adenine, Thymine, Guanine, and Cytosine in DNA. In RNA, Uracil replaces Thymine.
