to answer both questions, a clone (or cutting) is a genetic duplicate of the host plant. If you root cuttings from a female plant it will always be female, although some stress will cause the female to also make male flowers.
I take cuttings when I have several branches from which to take cuttings. Some will clone the growing tip, effectively topping the plant at the same time. I like that big main cola, so I take branches to root.
