I have cloned certain plants- they have the exact characteristics of the mother plant for lack of a better word, and you will get a mirror image from mother to clone.
In regards to human, mammals, etc- learning personality traits, skills and even mannerisms is something that can be taught. Just as a mother or father teach their children morals, ethics and life lessons. If you take a blank tablet (tabula rasa), you can make it whatever you want it to be.
The 1978 movie Boys from Brazil used this thinking. They cloned Hitler and put the clones in a similar living arrangement that Hitler had growing up.
