What Is Cloning?





Cloning is the process of creating genetically identical organisms
Asexual organisms are reproduce by cloning themselves
Human identical twins are clones of each other Clones have identical DNA but can have different personalities

History of Cloning


1938 –Hans Spemann proposes a “fantastic experiment” – to replace the nucleus of an egg cell with the nucleus of another cell and to grow an embryo from such an egg



1952 –Robert Briggs and Thomas King; the scientists collect the nucleus from a frog egg cell,



1981 –They take the nucleus not from an adult specimen, but from a mouse embryo



1995 – two sheep are cloned (Moran and
Megan). These had been the first animals cloned from differentiated cells.










1996 – the first mammal cloned from a cell taken from an adult animal – Dolly the sheep. 1998 – the first cloned mouse
2000 – the first cloned pig
2001 – a cat cloned
2004 – fruit flies cloned
2009 – a female camel cloned
2013 - Human embryonic stem cells created by somatic cell nuclear transfer

Two Ways of Cloning




Artifical Embryo Twinning:
In this process an embryo is split up and each part is put in a petri dish to develop.
They are then placed in a surrogate mother. The resulting clones are exact genetic copies of each other.
Natural Cloning:
In nature,some plants and single celled organisms such as bacteria produce genetically identical offspring through a process called asexual reproduction

1. DNA Cloning/Gene
Cloning




A term used to describe a collection of
DNA fragments derived from the genome of an organism and cloned randomly into suitable cloning vectors (plasmids,phages)
The term genomic DNA clone or chromosomal DNA clone then refers to an individual cell carrying a cloning vector with one of the cellular DNA

    Reproductive Cloning- Reproductive cloning is a type of cloning which is performed for the purpose of creating a duplicate copy of another organism. It is accomplished using a process called somatic cell nuclear transfer. In 1996, Scottish researchers announced that they had successfully cloned the first mammal, a sheep that came to be known as Dolly. Numerous other mammals have been cloned since then, and cloning has become a contentious ethical and scientific issue in some parts of the world.…

    Cloning is the creation of an organism that is the exact genetic copy of another. There are multiple ways that cloning can be achieved through biotechnology. Artificial embryo twinning is the more basic version of cloning. It mimics the natural occurrence of twins as a zygote divides into a two celled embryo but this process takes place in a Petri-dish instead of the mother’s body. The resulting embryos are then placed in a surrogate mother where they are developed. The process that ‘cloning’ generally refers to is scientifically known as somatic cell nuclear transfer. In this procedure the DNA of a cell of an adult animal (the donor) is extracted from body cells and then reinserted into the egg of another animal of the same species. The egg, with its nucleus removed will replicate the DNA of the donor cells and continue to act like a freshly…

    What is cloning? Cloning, a process in which genetically identical copies of a biological entity are produced. The copy is referred to as a clone because it has the same makeup as the original thing it was cloned from. Cloning can happen naturally through asexual reproduction where a one parent cell splits itself into two identical daughter cells. In humans cloning can happen naturally when a fertilized egg splits making two embryos with almost identical genetic makeup, although they do not look genetically identical to either parent. Artificial cloning in animals, or reproductive cloning, is what is erroneous since it can damage the original or the clone permanently. There are other forms of artificial cloning such as gene cloning and therapeutic…

    Human Cloning is the creation of a genetically identical copy of an existing, or previously existing, human being or growing cloned tissue from that individual (Cloning Fact Sheet). Scientists remove the nucleus, which contains the genetic material, from an egg. The genetic material from an adult somatic cell is removed and placed in the egg. It now has a complete set of genes. The egg is placed in a petri dish to allow it to develop into an embryo, which is placed into a surrogate mother to continue to grow and develop into a baby (Genetic Science Learning Center). This technique is called nuclear transfer or nuclear transplantation because they transfer the nucleus from one cell to another (Kilner). Therapeutic cloning is a technique of human…

    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) which is artificially implanted by adding a polylinker sequence to it. The pUC19 plasmid is also altered by inserting a gene that codes for beta-lactamase which confers resistance to the antibiotic ampicillin (Read and Strachan 2011). The MCS occupies the 5’ end of the gene lacZ (Sherwood, Willey and Woolverton 2012). This gene codes for only the alpha-peptide of beta-galactosidase, an enzyme used to break down the disaccharide lactose into glucose and galactose (Read and Strachan 2011). The aim of this experiment is to incorporate a cDNA called CIH-1, from plasmid pBK-CMV, into pUC19.…

    Have you ever had a favorite dog - a pet you would keep for the rest of your life if you could? Well, now you can. Researchers in Seoul, South Korea are betting that consumers will pay big bucks to have their pet brought back to life, at least genetically speaking. RNL Bio announced in mid-February that they are offering commercial pet cloning services to the public. Offering cloned dogs at a price of $150,000, services are marketed to wealthy pet owners. The company 's first order is from an American woman requesting that her dead dog, a pit bull terrier, be cloned. RNL Bio will extract the DNA from ear tissue, which the pet owner preserved with a biotec company a year before the dog 's death. The odds of creating a successful clone are only 25%, but the lab insists it will not give up until her pit bull is recreated as a clone. The average pet owner will not be faced with whether to duplicate their beloved canine or even feline for that matter. The cost of the procedure coupled with the cost of "banking" the DNA sample, not including yearly maintenance on the storage of the sample, will allow only the most wealthy to participate. With all the obvious advances being made in animal cloning, can we expect human clones to be next? With these discoveries coming at such a fast pace, morality issues and ethical questions are continually fueled into the new debates about the future of cloning. The average consumer will not be faced with a personal decision on the morality of cloning but will have to look at it with an outsider 's viewpoint.…

    For many years, scientists have been experimenting in the field of cloning. Cloning uses an egg cell and a somatic cell to make a duplicate copy of the organism. It is currently a highly controversial topic in the scientific world. Many people can benefit from cloning. From farmers to patients, not only does cloning help scientists discover more about genetics, it will also help a lot of people. However, there are also ethical issues with cloning, such as the use of embryonic stem cells and cross-species hybrids. For instance, at the Salk institute, a human-pig embryo was recently made and destroyed. The purpose of the experiment was to see if human organs could be grown inside a pig. The authors believe that we are still far off from accomplishing cloning of human organs in animals. I believe that cloning will help this world, but there needs to be restrictions on human cloning and cross-breeding.…

    Cloning is the process of producing similar populations of genetically identical individuals that occur in nature when organisms such as bacteria, insects, or plants produce asexually. Scientists have had limited success cloning mammals as well. Theoretically cloning humans is on the near horizon. Set in England in the late 1900’s, the science fiction novel, Never Let Me Go, Kazuo Ishiguro creates a world in which clones are created as sentient beings who are painfully aware that their sole purpose in existence is as a vehicle from which their organs will be harvested for their paired human. Ishiguro uses his characters Kathy and Tommy to portray the social conflict and tragedy as they go through their process of a clone. Like all clones, Kathy is brought up knowing her life would be over at a young age, once her usable organs are depleted. An unlikely romance between Kathy and Tommy occurs, but Kathy knows this relationship is doomed before it can begin. Throughout the book, this relationship becomes very difficult to maintain since they both know that their destiny is predetermined. As a “carer” Kathy is able to delay the inevitable harvesting of her own organs; but upon Tommy’s death, she no longer has a raison de etrere. Kazuo is cautioning that if the world keeps on the path, this dehumanized version and vision could be the future. In the end, Kathy comes to terms with her conflict she has been running away from in the entire novel and accepts the tragedy of her shortened life.…

    “Hitler Cloning” and “scientists playing God” are statements used to describe human cloning. When it comes down to the truth of the matter, human cloning is a scientific breakthrough that has a higher chance of helping society than hurting it. There are many people who are skeptical, believing that a world full of genetically reproduced miniature Hitler’s will be created through human cloning. They imagine a second Holocaust starting as the cloned Nazi leaders go on a world-wide scale killing spree, killing millions and leaving the Earth in ruins as they march through countries carrying out their new and improved final solution. While this is all happening, G-d will be raining down his wrath upon the whole planet. Lightning bolts will clash through the sky as sink holes tare through the Earth. Buildings will collapse as G-d sends earthquakes through major cities. It is very unlikely that a second Holocaust would be the result of human cloning. As well as this, it is quite doubtful that G-d will be too concerned with the scientists behind human cloning, especially considering that their cloning will be helping society.…

    Human cloning is the creation of a genetically identical copy of a human, a very controversial issue, the following tells about some controversies that go along with it. After graduation, the students of a private academy were told that they were clones made specifically to donate their body parts to human patients. Despite the fact that the students seem no different from other human beings their teenage happiness, feelings and relationships that they go through during their everyday lives will be taken away. The teens were confined in a hospital after they hit a certain age in order to have their organs taken out for transplants. They will have had several operations time after time before their bodies are unable to sustain at around the age of thirty. This is the story of the award-winning novel called, “Never Let Me Go,” which raises important questions including moral issues surrounding human cloning. In the actual world, since the very first cloned sheep Dolly was created in February 1997, there have been ethical and social arguments over the use of assisted reproductive technologies. Now that cloning of humans is becoming virtually possible, such debates are getting even more in-depth since there are many ethical issues that need to be weighed. Before cloning is to be done for human beings there are certain issues that need to be addressed. These include terms of their human rights, confusing identity issues with the originals, and technical and medical safety.…

    Scientists have successfully cloned animals like Dolly the sheep. Some people hope that cloning techniques will be used to clone humans someday, while others strongly oppose this use of technology. While cloning humans has many great perks to it, it also has a great number of unfortunate consequences. A clone is an organism that is genetically identical to the person or thing that it was derived from. Cloning humans might cause alot of trouble on our planet and may make things worse than they already are. For starters, cloning will cause an unbalance on earth. Lots of things would be different on earth, and not for the better. In addition, cloning is unethical in many religions. Furthermore, even though clones have identical genes, you can't be a hundred percent sure that the clones won't suffer from defects or deficiencies, or that the resulting clone will be successful. Cloning humans is a bad idea that should be forbidden from being done on humans.…
