Identical twins originate as one fertilized ovum which divides into two identical ova.
No. Cloning only makes what are like identical twins, and identical twins do not have the same memories.
Probably not at all (after all, twins are clones), except for studies of heredity.
Artificial embryo twinning is a low tech form of cloning.The technology mimics the natural process of creating identical twins.
A clone.
therapeutic cloning
No. They are the same as any brother or sister but they are born at the same time.
One can find information on therapeutic cloning from Wikipedia. Therapeutic cloning involves cloning cells or tissue from an identical twins are commonplace.
Cloning is in fact nothing more than identical twins. Thus, cloning of cows do not affect cows in any sort of way.
No. Cloning only makes what are like identical twins, and identical twins do not have the same memories.
Never thought of it that way, but yes.
Yes, but the twins will be of far different ages. P.S- Natural twins are born almost at the same time. Please also see: How could cloning help infertile couples have children?
Cloning is considered a taboo in the sense that no human should have the power to do what "god" does. Cloning happens naturally in nature when identical twins are born, but that is the only situation where it is present.
how artificial chromosome are used as cloning vectors with example?
When a clone is made without the use of artificial cloning. Natural cloning: Twins, mitosis, asexual reproduction Artificial cloning: SCNT, therepuetic + reproductive cloning.
Gene Cloning is used to clone a gene of interest in a vector called plasmid. The chimeric DNA or rDNA formed by cloning is stable and can be used to propagate and sequence the DNA. producing vector containing inulin gene is an example.
Probably not at all (after all, twins are clones), except for studies of heredity.
No. Not even close. Fraternal twins result from two eggs fertilized by two sperm at about the same time and being implanted in the uterus together. They are siblings.Not even identical twins, by the way, can be considered as clones, because cloning involves the removal of genetic information from one cell with its transfer to another cell. Identical twins involve splitting, not cloning.
