i found this as an example on the official wiki page where under a scientific study when it comes to natural asexual reproduction as to cloning {fission (biology)} where it's as stated:

Fission of prokaryotes[edit]
The single DNA molecule first replicates, then attaches each copy to a different part of the cell membrane. When the cell begins to pull apart, the replicated and original chromosomes are separated. The consequence of this asexual method of reproduction is that all the cells are genetically identical, meaning that they have the same genetic material (barring random mutations). Unlike the process of mitosis used by eukaryotic cells, binary fission takes place without the formation of a spindle apparatus on the cell. In binary fission the parental identity is lost.

i found something interesting pertained to an interview with kojima on Big Boss and Solid Snake, (etc.) heres a link as proof, for the most part, kojima is not counting Solid Snake as a "real human" which could suggest that being that hes a clone hes not a perfected being which would earn a natural biological title under son as well as a brother, though based on the logical information above we could still go with him alongside his other "brothers" as Big Boss's sibling relations.

Q: As the series has progressed you seem to be focusing more on Big Boss as a main character. Do you just prefer him over Solid Snake?

Kojima: You have to keep in mind that Solid Snake is not a real human. [As in, within the story universe, Solid Snake is a genetically modified clone.] On the other hand, Big Boss is a real human being with true emotions. He can be more expressive than Solid Snake. So yes, as a result I find him more compelling to write.
