Reproductive cloning is a technology used to generate an animal that has the same nuclear DNA as another currently or previously existing animal. Dolly was created by reproductive cloning technology. In a process called "somatic cell nuclear transfer" (SCNT)‚ scientists transfer genetic material from the nucleus of a donor adult cell to an egg whose nucleus‚ and thus its genetic material‚ has been removed. The reconstructed egg containing the DNA from a donor cell must be treated with chemicals or

Cloning and stem cell research have come a long way in the past few decades. Expert scientist have the capability of making an exact‚ physical copy of a living body as well using stem cells to cure genetic diseases. Although these two topics are quite common now‚ they weren’t well known when Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein fictional novel was initially published. The idea of cloning may have been new and debatable at the time‚ but Shelley took the idea with a more fictional perspective. With this novel

Should Human Cloning be Permitted in the United States? Dolly‚ the sheep‚ was born at a research center in Scotland known as the Roslin Institute. Dolly was the first large mammal that was cloned from an adult animal. This event definitely raised the stakes of cloning‚ bringing the world closer to the possibility of cloning humans. Instantly‚ imaginations of the press‚ the people‚ and the scientific community were triggered. How soon would it be before the birth of a human baby cloned from the

The immorality of cloning Casey Chelchinskey 12S The classification of a "clone" is the genetic copy of a life form. Cloning is a topical South African issue which we are faced with in our lives. The laws in South Africa which govern genetic manipulation state that neither therapeutic nor reproductive cloning is accepted. I take a firm stand against cloning and I believe it is unjust‚ intolerable and destructive for the future of humanity. The birth of the cloned sheep‚ Dolly‚ resulted in

DNA Cloning ~ The Future of Science DNA Cloning DNA cloning is the process where an exact replica of an organism is produced. Some scientists have already produced clones of animals; Dolly the sheep is one of the many examples of DNA cloning. Cloning is a natural process‚ many living things only need one parent to reproduce‚ this process is called asexual reproduction; for example single-celled bacterium use this process. The new bacteria inherits its genes from only one parent‚ this means

To consider the cloning of another human being forces me to question the very concepts of right and wrong that make us all human. <br> <br>Until the birth of Dolly the sheep‚ the first mammal to be successfully cloned‚ it was thought that the ability to clone an adult human was impossible or would only be possible somewhere in the distant future! But that has all changed with the birth of Dolly and the explosion of advances in the field of Embryology and genetic screening. These advances are leading

Cloning of plasmid pUC19 in E.coli bacteria Introduction One aspect of the DNA cloning experiments that is carefully considered is the selection of cloning vectors. A variety of vectors have been created‚ each being suitable for a particular use. One common vector used in laboratories is a plasmid called pUC19. It is 2686 base pairs long and possesses an origin of replication which allows the production of over 100 copies in a competent E.coli cell. It possesses a multiple cloning site (MCS)

Cloning has become a great controversial issue in today’s world where scientists and other people have different views on cloning. Some are hopeful as they believe that through genetic engineering‚ cloning is our future‚ giving the potential to save the lives of many people from terrible and deadly diseases. Nevertheless‚ some people

Cloning Technology Cloning technology is defined as the creation of an organism that is genetic copy from another this is mean that every single bit of DNA is the same between the two‚ the Biotechnological DNA cloning combine the technology to produce multiple copies will producing a group of genetically identical cells or clone and all from single ancestor. Cloning process of reproduction in plant and micro cells are called reproductive organism‚ this is now as “vegetative reproduction” because
