Aim: How do scientists clone organisms?

Hello Dolly!!

What is a Clone?

A clone is an organism that is genetically identical to the organism from which it was produced.

Do the cells of our body makeexact copies of themselves?

Yes

When?

GrowthRepair

What process ensures that the offspring will be genetically

identical?

DNA Replication

Cloning vs. AsexualReproduction

Cloning is a technique

that accomplishes the

same end result as

__________reproduction.

What is the end result?

The production of offspring with identical genetic information as the parent.

asexual

Can we clone organisms thatnormally reproduce sexually?

Yes, scientists have been able to clone animals.

Steps of Cloning:1)The nucleus from an egg cell is

removed.2)The nucleus of a body cell from a

donor is removed.3)The nucleus of the body cell is placed

inside the egg cell.4)The egg cell with the new nucleus is

placed inside the uterus.5)When the baby is born, it will have the

same genetic information as the donor.

Why Clone?

1) Clone Stem Cells

2) Revive endangered or extinct species

3) Reproducing adeceased pet

4) Clone humans??

Do you think identical twins are clones? Explain. Can you hypothesize how

identical twins are formed?
