Reproductive Cloning
what is reproductive cloning?
The process where scientists clone animals
What is therapeutic cloning?
Therapeutic cloning is the process where scientists make a clone but do not let it develop beyond an embryo and they take stem cells from the early stages.
The first mammal cloned through reproductive cloning.
Who is Dolly the Sheep?
What is asexual reproduction?
The process where an animal reproduces and creates a clone. Does not require a mate.
What is Mitosis?
The process that a cell undergoes to create two identical daughter cells.
What are the steps in reproductive cloning?
Scientist first take the nucleus out of a cell from an animal they want to clone. They then place that nucleus in an egg cell that has had its own nucleus removed. Scientists start cell division and place the clone in a mother animal.
What are the steps in therapeutic cloning?
Therapeutic cloning starts the same way as as reproductive cloning, but instead of allowing the embryo to develop, stem cells are harvested.
When were the first monkeys cloned with reproductive cloning (within 10 years is acceptable)

If a strawberry plant grows a runner and a new straw plant grows from that runner, is the new plant a clone of the original?

What is the most common and widely consumed food in the world, a staple in many Asian Dishes.

What is the nucleus of a cell?
The part of the cell where the DNA is kept, the “brain” of the cell. Has it’s own membrane and makes RNA from DNA in the chromosomes.

Who are the clones in ”Star Wars”?

Name a plant that goes through asexual reproduction
Strawberries, propagations
Who is Ulysses S. Grant?
The 18th president of the United States
Inefficient (low success rate), expensive, lack of genetic variation.
What is a potential drawback of Therapeutic Cloning?
May be related to cancer, ethical issues
What is gene cloning?
The cloning is the process where scientists clone genes and strands of DNA. This can help genetic engineering.
Name an animal that can asexually reproduce
(there is a lot of animals, certain sharks and lizards can asexually reproduce)
Name a German General in WW1
Hindenburg, Ludendorf, Mackensen, Falkenhayn, Lettow-Vorbek
What are some of the applications of Reproductive Cloning? (minimum 2, extra 50 points for everyone more than 2)
To strengthen endangered populations, to possibly revive extinct species, to clone animals for various agricultural purposes.
What are the potential applications of Therapeutic Cloning?
Therapeutic Cloning can potentially help people with injuries and/or diseases
When was the first human cloned?
Trick Question! There has been no proof of an actual human being cloned beyond an embryonic state. (Made in may 2026)
Can an organism go through asexual and sexual reproduction?
Yes, some organisms can clone themselves and sexually reproduce.
What is the Theory of Relativity?
The theory created by Albert Einstein, deals with the principles of gravity, time, and light.
