  2. What is it? www.clonekit.com/ • “Animal cloning is a method used to produce cloned animals whose nuclear genes are identical to those of the animal supplying the nucleus” – Biology Eighth Edition • 1950s – Scientists experimented with plant cloning • 1950s–1970s – Scientists experimented with frog cloning (through nuclear transplantation) • 1997 – Scottish researchers cloned Dolly (a sheep) est-rox.tripod.com/id21.html http://a.abcnews.com/images/Technology/ld_dolly_sheep_070720_ssv.jpg

  3. HOW it works Reproductive Cloning of a Mammal by Nuclear Transplantation Frog Experiment with Nuclear Transplantation http://fig.cox.miami.edu/~cmallery/150/devel/c7.21.6.frog.jpg http://www.bioinformatics.nl/webportal/background/images/dolly2.png
