Definition of Clone:

An exact copy of a DNA segment; produced by recombinant DNA technology.



Exact same replica. So yes. But were not that far ahead yet!

No, your clone won't have a cold if you are cloned using the Dolly the sheep method, unless the clone becomes infected with your cold at some stage during or after the process. As long as the cell taken from your body doesn't have the virus in it, and there is no subsequent contamination, the clone will be healthy.
