How could the original Jack's memories be transmitted to/surface in a clone?
Instincts, OK, character traits for sure, but memories?
It obviously did not come from the Tet, which had the convenient "memory wipe for security purposes" cover.

It would seem that the Jack (and Vika) clones aren't what we would call clones today. They were not grown from the same DNA template in the normal way. The fact that all the clones are of the same age and appearance indicate that they are more likely exact copies of the original Jack and Vika. Being exact copies means that they retain the original's memories, although they are suppressed by some form of brain washing done by the Tet.
The memories came from the original Jack, when the clone of Jack saw the female(cannot remember her name) it triggered the memories that were suppressed in his mind.
