Biotechnology in Cloning Brian Hopkins South University Online BIO1020 Unveiled to the world’s press by Ian Wilmut and colleagues at the Roslin Institute in Midlothian‚ Scotland on February 22‚ 1997‚ Dolly the sheep was the first mammal to be successfully cloned from an adult cell. She was actually born a few months earlier on July 5‚ 1996. The world was certainly awed when the first superstar sheep Dolly was introduced. It was that date in history when the world first heard about successful

Genetics Research Task Cloning to Revive Extinct Species and Save Endangered Species Cloning‚ creating an organism that has the exact genetic copy as another (Utah.edu). Cloning‚ although seen around the world as a very controversial topic‚ has the possibility to cure many problems in the world. One problem that cloning could address is the chance to bring back animals from extinction and save endangered animals. How cloning addresses extinction? There are two main ways of cloning‚ artificial embryo

By cloning embryos‚ it is possible to further medical science‚ assist people with physical diseases‚ and doesn’t actually focus around cloning a human. To begin with‚ cloning can be used in the form of cloning embryos to further the field of stem cell research. For example‚ in the article “Cloning Embryos: Scientific Milestone or Moral Offense?”‚ it is stated that‚ “Stem cells taken from adults‚ though less morally questionable‚ are less likely to grow outside the body and are not as versatile as

This would be possible with the available of Human organ cloning to the patient. Therefore‚ reducing the risk factors that are normally associated with Human Organ transplant for the patient. For example‚ they are no guarantee that an organ remove from an identical twins would definitely work without the receiver body not reject the new organ. In many

advancements are possible through genetic cloning. Many people hear the word cloning‚ and become so appalled that we would ever think of such a thing. They believe that we are not to play God‚ by growing body parts and organs just for research. I agree that genetic cloning is a very sensitive issue‚ both ethically and religiously‚ however‚ the medical and psychological advantages outweigh the few disadvantages. Many religious groups are up in arm about the idea of cloning‚ especially the thought of using

Cloning of Animals The cloning of animals is a process in which a single cell is taken from the parent organism and is used to reproduce a genetically identical organism. The animal cloned represents an exact duplicate of its parent in every way‚ the one exception of that is the original and cloning will not have the same DNA. The first cloning of an animal was of a sheep named Dolly. An instance of animal cloning is‚ development of twins from a single fertilized egg and asexual reproduction. The

possible to achieve cloning of an adult mammal by nuclear transfer. In this process‚ the nucleus from the cell of an adult mammal is inserted into an ennucleated ovum‚ and the resulting embryo develops following the complete genetic code of the mammal from which the inserted nucleus was obtained. But some scientists and much of the public were troubled or apparently even horrified at the prospect that if adult mammals such as sheep could be cloned‚ then cloning of adult humans by the sameprocess would

Premium Cloning Bacteria Organism
Cloning describes a number of processes used to create genetically identical copies of a biological entity. Although these processes can occur naturally‚ such as in some plants and or bacteria‚ the type of cloning that is most known is the ‘artificially copying a whole organism’ cloning. According to the National Institutes of Health‚ scientists remove a mature somatic cell‚ any type of cell‚ except a sperm or egg cell‚ from the animal the scientists desire to copy. The chosen DNA is then transferred
Premium DNA Cloning Genetics
Cloning is a very big mystery and is also an up and coming topic in the science industry. Cloning can be used to either clone a human or any other animal without changing the genetic makeup of the parent one. It can be used therapeutically as well. Cloning when done carefully is an amazing thing and the possibilities are endless. Don’t get carried away with this but it could potentially lead to the cure of cancer. Why should we just keep a perfect gene makeup to one individual if a family were to
