Cloning From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation search For the cloning of human beings, see Human cloning . For other uses, see Cloning (disambiguation) Cloning is the process of making an identical copy of something. In biology , it collectively refers to processes used to create copies of DNA fragments (molecular cloning), cells (cell cloning), or organisms . The term also covers when organisms such as bacteria insects or plants reproduce asexually Contents Etymology Molecular cloning Cellular cloning Cloning in stem cell research ... External links and references Etymology The term clone is derived from , the Greek word for "twig, branch", referring to the process whereby a new plant can be created from a twig. In horticulture , the spelling clon was used until the twentieth century; the final e came into use to indicate the vowel is a "long o" instead of a "short o" citation needed . Since the term entered the popular lexicon in a more general context, the spelling clone has been used exclusively.

Although Noah died of an infection unrelated to the procedure, the experiment demonstrated that it is possible to save endangered species through cloning. Cloning is the process of making a genetically identical organism through nonsexual means. It has been used for many years to produce plants (even growing a plant from a cutting is a type of cloning).

Essay archive > 1997 essays Cloning by Rosa Beddington [from Mill Hill Essays 1997] Since our genes dictate to a large extent what we look like, how we behave and what we can and cannot do, having identical genes, as identical twins do, ensures something more than mere similarity. Novelists and film makers have not been slow to exploit the imagery afforded by cloning. Limitless numbers of identical beings manufactured from existing or previous generations has obvious dramatic potential, although seldom of a reassuring nature. Clones traverse the cinema screen as crowds of dehumanised humans destined for monotonous drudgery, as invincible armies of lookalikes from outer space, as replicas of living megalomaniacs and, in the ultimate fantasy, as the resurrected dead - troupes of little Hitlers and herds of rampaging dinosaurs. Of course, this is science fiction. Nonetheless there is just a whiff of plausibility, a whisker of scientific credibility; enough to plant an indelible vision of what might be, or even what could be. a priori unnatural about cloning.

All About Cloning Biological cloning is the process of creating a genetically identical copy of another living being, be it human, plant, or animal . Clones can occur both naturally and unnaturally through advances in technology. Clones occur naturally during the asexual reproduction of some organisms and unicellular micro-organisms, or when two genetically identical individuals are produced accidentally, as when two identical twins develop from one single fertilized egg. Unnaturally occurring genetic animal cloning has been a highly scrutinized and controversial issue around the world since the successful cloning of Dolly the sheep in 1996 at the Roslin Institute in Edinburgh, United Kingdom. Genetic cloning occurs when a body cell is taken from an embryo in an early stage of development. The nucleus is then transferred to an unfertilized ovum from which the nucleus has been removed. The daughter cells from the earliest divisions are removed, and grown in culture or implanted into host mothers. Genetically identical offspring to that from which the original cell was taken is then produced.

Published by Australian Academy of Science KEY TEXT The cloning of Dolly the sheep has stimulated discussion on the benefits and risks of the development of cloning techniques. You will get more from this topic if you have mastered the basics of DNA and genes In nature, cloning is common among plants and is used extensively in plant propagation. The offspring produced by cloning (and other methods of asexual reproduction ) simply develop from cells produced by the parent. Because the offspring have genetic information identical to the parent, they develop very similar characteristics to their parent (and to one another) as they mature. This means that an agriculturalist who grows new plants from pieces of an older plant ensures that the new crop will be a fairly uniform one ( Box 1: Propagating plants ). In contrast, an individual formed by sexual reproduction develops from a cell produced by the union of two cells, usually from different parents. Offspring produced in this way are not genetically identical to each other or to their parents, unlike offspring formed by asexual methods of reproduction. The only clones produced naturally in vertebrate animals are identical twins. These are formed when cells produced by the early divisions of the fertilised egg separate and independently develop into new individuals. They are therefore genetically identical to each other but not identical to their parents.

About this Site This site was last updated on June 7, 2007 This Webliography is intended to help you find the best, most reliable information about animal and human cloning available on the Web. There are links of interest to everyone from students and the public to scientists. If you are new to the topic or want to understand how cloning works, start with the Introduction to Cloning page. Cloning has been one of the hottest topics in biotechnology and biomedical research for the last several years. Not to be confused with gene cloning, molecular cloning, or cell cloning, whole organism cloning results in a clone as defined by the Encyclopaedia Britannica as "an individual organism that was grown from a single body cell of its parent and that is genetically identical to it."( ) The idea that a higher organism could be a clone of another is certainly not new. Among animals, twinning occurs naturally, producing two separate organisms with the same genetic makeup. Scientists in the 1950's, 1960's and 1970's demonstrated that they were able to clone frog tadpoles from frog embryonic cells using

Excel documents can be read with a free copy of Microsoft's Excel viewer Introduction In 2001, when it became apparent that animal cloning may become a commercial venture to help improve the quality of herds, FDA requested livestock producers and researchers to keep food from animal clones or their offspring out of the food supply. Since then, FDA has conducted an intensive evaluation that included examining the safety of food from these animals and the risk to animal health. Based on a final risk assessment, a report written by FDA scientists and issued in January 2008, FDA has concluded that meat and milk from cow, pig, and goat clones and the offspring of any animal clones are as safe as food we eat every day.
