Has human cloning been attempted?
Yes.
100
What is done to the nucleus of the egg cell?
The nucleus is removed.
100
How can the research solve answers to diseases?
With enough research they could develop a prototype cell, that would kill specific viruses and clone it.
100
How do the immune systems of cloned animals fare against diseases?
The immune systems of cloned animals are not as good as naturally born animals.
200
Who was the first man to clone an animal?
John Gurdon
200
What is combined with the embryo to start mitosis?
The nucleus of the donor cell is then put into the egg cell.
200
What are the possible benefits of therapeutic cloning?
The benefits of therapeutic cloning could be to find a way to regenerate someone's body parts scientifically and then possibly surgically take out someone's and put it the new organ.
200
What happens to malformed clones?
Scientists could research the malformed clone itself to find a way to prevent it.
300
What is the name of the most popular and well known clone today?
Dolly the Sheep
300
What is needed to start mitosis in the embryo?
An electrical jolt, or chemical stimulation is needed to start the cell's reproduction.
300
What are the benefits of reproductive cloning?
You would get an animal exactly the same as the first one, with the better traits.
300
How does the success rate of cloning affect the progression of it?
The success rate being low affects the progression rate of cloning by not having as many subjects to study.
400
Who was the man who first thought of the theory of heredity?
August Weissman
400
Where is the egg then inserted to further grow until born?
The embryo is implanted into a surrogate mother's uterus.
400
How can cloning be used to stop animals from going extinct?
The genetic information can be stored for later use so when the success rate of cloning is higher that can be used.
400
What are the ethical problems with cloning?
Cloning has come across many issues with religion. As well as most people are against human cloning.
