How can you clone animals

By Fuller H.

Some animals we can clone are• Cows, wolves, mice, dogs, donkeys, buffalo, ferret,

deer, cats, horse, mule, rabbits, monkeys, pigs, goats, sheep, carp,

20. Wolves: Snuwolf and Snuwolffy

The animal that can clone its self

• The sand dollar can clone itself by tearing off pieces of its own body it also can cut it size in half when a predator is close by.

• The picture on the right shows the old and new way of cloneing.

Cloning involves taking the nucleus out of an adult cell, usually from the animal's ear, and putting it into an unfertilized egg. That egg, containing the genetic material of the original animal, hopefully develops into an embryo.

7. Ombretta the Mouflon

The successful cloning of this endangered animal (2000) exemplifies how cloning can rescue a species from the brink of extinction

The mouflon was the first ever endangered animal to be cloned. Created by Italian and Scottish scientists in 2000. The clone was created from cells from a ewe found dead at a Sardinian rescue centre.

Tiny tigers

Seventy years after the ferocious Tasmanian tiger went extinct, its marsupial DNA has been resurrected inside mice. This is the first time that genetic material from an extinct animal has functioned inside a living host. Check your facts!!!!

dodos

• The dodo -- an extinct bird made famous in traveling exhibitions and works of fiction -- may be ready for a comeback. In early July 2007, scientists working on the island of Mauritius, east of Madagascar off of the coast of Africa, announced the discovery of the best preserved dodo skeleton ever found. It appears complete and is one of only two of the extinct bird that's been unearthed. The find, which was kept secret for several weeks while the site was examined and the skeleton collected, may provide valuable DNA samples

Ice age giants• Creating mammoth eggs using the severely damaged DNA from female

mammoth mummies has failed in several attempts. There have been discussions about modifying the genome of an African elephant, a project that would cost $USD10 million and require changing each of the 400,000 genetic sites that differ between it and the woolly mammoth. A cell containing such a modified genome could be converted into an embryo by a process recently developed by a Japanese researcher, and then brought to term in the womb of a female African elephant. Outrageous as this may sound, there are new laboratory procedures that can modify 50,000 genes at a time. The result, if it works, will stretch the boundaries of possibility forever.

• Eggs or embryo?

• Farmers could raise cloned animals to supply organs for transplantation into humans, a rancher could make the genes from a prized bull live forever, reproducing the invaluable genetic line over and over.

Cloning gone wrongCloning gone wrong

In large animals like cows and sheep, scientists found that about half of all cloned embryos that developed into fetuses have dangerous abnormalities and defects in their lungs, hearts and other organs; others have weak immune systems and high rates of tumor growth. Many of these clones die before birth, others kick the bucket weeks or months after being born. Older clones often die early and have unpredictable or unexplainable deaths

RabbitCloned in 2001, a white rabbit like the clone

featured above–and its 30 clones–wasn’t given a cute name.

A Family of Pigs: Millie, Alexis, Christa, Dotcom, and Carrel

• Labs intend to modify pigs so that they can grow cells and organs that humans can use. Millie and her sisters (if you can call them that) were cloned in 2000 by a US-based company.

Tetra the Rhesus Monkey

• The lab monkey world received its first clone in 2000. US-based Tetra is the first in a series of cloned monkeys that scientists could use as test subjects to learn more about diseases like diabetes.

Copy Cat (CC)

This cat, cloned in 2001, was the starting gun for a pet-cloning process that may eventually become an industry.

Words on cloning

No joke! If you really wanted to, and if you had enough money, you could clone your beloved family cat. At least one biotechnology company in the United States offers cat cloning services for the privileged and bereaved, and they are now working to clone dogs. But don't assume that your cloned kitty will be exactly the same as the one you know and love. Why not?

Libby and Lilly, Ferrets• These ferrets, cloned in 2004,

almost beg another “why the heck did you do that?” It turns out that ferrets are very useful for studying human respiratory diseases, and some types are endangered.

There have been big debates on cloning some huge others small .the idea of cloning to some could be catastrophic.

My opinion

My opinion just says it could help or back fire It could back fire by the chance of a quick

death.Or work and help our cavitations grow.
