I am new to Ubuntu. As for Windows, can I copy or clone an entire drive, including the operating system, when using Ubuntu 18.04?

You can use https://clonezilla.org/ to clone a drive. – schrodingerscatcuriosity Sep 19 '19 at 13:44

There are multiple ways to clone an disk.
You can use software like clonezilla, or copy an entire disk to a file / drive with dd.
Please note that dd is commonly referred to as disk destroyer because people make typos and delete their data with it.
Personally I would use a tool like clonezilla to backup a drive, and dd to copy 1 drive to another.
