Re: asking
the_one ( 12/03/2003, 03:25:55 )Hey look at this u may find it useful as an answer 2 ur 1st question ;) Cloning can be divided, according to its purpose, into two parts, reproductive cloning and research cloning.Reproductive cloning: It is also called “adult DNA cloning”. It means creating a genetic duplicate of an existing organism. Therefore, a human clone is a genetic duplicate of an existing person. Some people might think that cloning is the same as sexual reproduction. It is different; however. In sexual reproduction, a child gets half its genes from its mother and the other half from its father; whereas, in reproductive cloning, the child gets all its genes from a single body cell of the person to be cloned. Reproductive cloning could also be divided into two parts, Somatic Cell Nucleur Transfer and Parthenogenesis. 1. Somatic Cell Nuclear Transfer (SCNT): It has been argued that it is the best known cloning technique. The nucleus of a female’s egg is removed and replaced by the nucleus of the body cell to be cloned, which might be hair or skin. The resulting zygote is, then, triggered by either electricity or chemicals to develop into an embryo. This embryo is, then, placed into a woman’s uterus and will develop into a child who is the exact duplicate of the person from whom the body cell was taken.2. Parthenogenesis: Parthenogenesis is an alternate cloning technique. It is different from (SCNT). An egg is induced by electricity or chemicals to make it behave as though it was fertilized. It is, after that, developed into a zygote to begin dividing. The child will be identical to the person being cloned.
