“BOOT CAMP”:

CLONING

Day 4

WHAT IS CLONING?????


Cloning is the creation of an organism
that is an exact genetic copy of another.


This means that every single bit of DNA
is the same between the two!



ARTIFICIAL EMBRYO TWINNING



Mimics natural identical twins

SOMATIC CELL NUCLEAR
TRANSFER:


Uses somatic cells (any cell in the body other than
the reproductive cells)


Involves
enucleation

(removing the nucleus from
an egg cell)

This is how Dolly the sheep was cloned in 1997
