5d Cloning • Define clone. • Clone: a group of genetically identical organisms or a group of cells derived from a single parent cell.
5.17 describe the process of micropropagation (tissue culture) in which small pieces of plants (explants) are grown in vitro using nutrient media
5.18 understand how micropropagation can be used to produce commercial quantities of identical plants (clones) with desirable characteristics
5.19 describe the stages in the production of cloned mammals involving the introduction of a diploid nucleus from a mature cell into an enucleated egg cell, illustrated by Dolly the sheep
Animal Cloning Dolly the sheep was the first mammal to be cloned from the DNA of an adult. Here she is with her first-born lamb, Bonnie.Roslin Institute, Edinburgh
Animal Cloning • The goal of cloning is to take control of the reproductive process. • You are able to select the specific combination of genes to get what you want. • That's appealing to people who breed animals .
.20 • evaluate the potential for using cloned transgenic animals, for example to producecommercial quantities of human antibodies or organs for transplantation.
