Clone An Embryo
712 wordsIn recent years, the issue of cloning has been up for debate worldwide. Cloning is the production of one or more individual plants or animals that are genetically identical to another plant or animal. There are two different types of cloning procedures, embryo cloning and adult DNA cloning. Embryo cloning occurs when sperm and egg cells are mixed in a glass dish. After conception, the zygote (fertilized egg) is allowed to divide and nutrients are added to promote cell division. The cells then fu...

Clones Of Millions Of Cells
446 wordsCloning Cloning is the production of duplicate copies of genetic material, cells, or entire multicellular living organisms. The copies are referred to as clones. Cloning occurs naturally and is also engineered by human beings. The possibility that people might be cloned from the cells of a single adult human being had long been a subject primarily of fantasy and science fiction but became very definite at the end of the 20th century. This possibility stemmed from the successful cloning of lower ...

Ian Wilmut's Cloned Sheep
585 wordsIntroduction The idea of cloning has been around for a while, but the thought of it becoming a reality is surprisingly new. Cloning has been all over the papers and the news lately, mostly caused by the death of possibly the world's most famous animal behind Lassie, Ian Wilmut's cloned sheep, Dolly. In 1880, a man named Walter Sutton made one of the most important discoveries towards cloning- he proved that chromosomes hold genetic information. This discovery allowed us to get to where we are in...

Clone A Frog From An Embryonic Cell
1,367 wordsMultiple Source Essay Cloning: What is the Right thing to do? Cloning offers many applications, especially in medicine, however, in spite of the many advantages, many people still consider the idea of human cloning, and the practice of cloning all together to be immoral. This opinion is rarely based on a careful analysis of facts, often only a spontaneous reaction. Cloning technology has potential for doing much good, research in human cloning should continue, although some applications of it ma...

Dna Cloning The Terms Recombinant Dna Technology
2,748 wordsIntroduction The possibility of human cloning, raised when Scottish scientists at Roslin Institute created the much-celebrated sheep 'Dolly' (Nature 385,810-13, 1997), aroused worldwide interest and concern because of its scientific and ethical implications. The feat, cited by Science magazine as the breakthrough of 1997, also generated uncertainty over the meaning of 'cloning' -- an umbrella term traditionally used by scientists to describe different processes for duplicating biological materia...

Clone Of Cells
448 wordsCloning is a big issue now. Many arguments are going on about cloning humans being immoral. But what is cloning? Cloning is one or more offspring from a single ancestor; the genetic composition from the ancestor is identical to the offspring. No sex is involved in the production of clones, and since sex is the normal means by which new genetic material is introduced during procreation, clones have no choice having the same genes as their only parent. A clone of cells refers to the descendants of...

Cloning Of Animals
827 wordsThe cloning of animals will be beneficial to human beings inthe near future. Experiments in cloning animals started in the early nine-teen-fifties. Over the next forty years, scientists were only able to clone animals from very young embryonic cells. When these scientists tried to use older cells for cloning, they did not get normal results. This led many scientists to believe that animals could not be cloned from adult cells. (Pennisi, 1997) However, this all changed in the Summer of 1995 with ...

Clones Of Cells Inside An Organism
1,003 wordsCloning What is a Clone A clone is a group of genetically identical cells. For example, tumors are clones of cells inside an organism because they consist of many replicas of one mutated cell. Another type of clone occurs inside a cell. Such a clone is made up of groups of identical structures that contain genetic material, such as mitochondria and chloroplasts. Some of these structures, called plasmids, are found in some bacteria and yeasts. Techniques of genetic engineering enable scientists t...

Human Clone
2,024 wordsAccording to Webster's New World Dictionary (1990), a clone is "all descendants derived asexually from a single organism". In layman terms a clone is an exact duplicate of another organism, therefore a human clone would be a perfect copy of another human being. According to the American Medical Association, the scientific name for cloning is "somatic cell nuclear transfer", which means the nucleus of an existing organism is transferred into an oocyte from which the nucleus has been removed (AMA ...
