Would someone ever take a fast growing strain, and a strong strain, from cloned plants lines that you now know are strong, and merge them, then clone those, repeating the cycle, until they find the dna pattern in the plant that produces the most pot, that fastest?
Oh, back to clones, yeah - we just photocopy them - that's all a clone is.

You made the cloning comment in the same context of genetics, so I thought you meant you were improving the genetics by cloning.
Of course you want to clone your best plants, and if you mean improving the strain means improving the yield then yes, but only for that particular grower, not over all. IE, a lot of clones that growers sell to dispencaries are not from their best plants, they keep those and sell the ones they do not want.
As far as removing male plants as you clone, if you were growing from seed (with the exception of feminized seeds) you would not know a plant was a male unless you were taking clones in the flowering stage which most serious growers do not do simply because they take forever to root.
