  7. Therapeutic Cloning Stem Cells • Found in multi-cellular organisms • Have the ability to divide (mitosis) and differentiate into various types of cells • Could be used to grow tissue to be used by humans

  8. Transgenic Animals • Carries a gene from another organism • Usually implanted into stem cells

  9. DNA Fingerprinting • Sorts DNA fragments by size • Used to compare DNA for crimes/forensic science and paternity tests
