The impact of cloning organisms in America is unknown and there is no way to predict what kind of advantages and/or disadvantages there would be as a result of cloning.

Which statement best describes a population of organisms if cloning is the only method used to reproduce this population?
The answer is 2.) There would be little chance for variation within the population.
What is replacement cloning?
Replacement cloning is a theoretical possibility, and would be a combination of therapeutic and reproductive cloning. Replacement cloning would entail the replacement of an extensively damaged, failed, or failing body through cloning followed by whole or partial brain transplant.
How did these resources impact human settlement in north america?

What effect on the environment would cloning have?
There would be very little impact on the environment. We lack the technology to clone organisms as fast as mother nature can produce them through natural breeding. Under normal circumstances, therefore, the impact of cloning would not be effectively measurable. We may some day clone mastodons or woolly mammoths. It is doubtful these will be cloned in such numbers to have any serious impact on the environment, and it should be quite easy to control their population. The Spaniards released feral horses into the American southwest several centuries ago, and these animals (mustangs) HAVE had a serious negative impact on the environment. They foul water holes and compete against native species. We could solve the problem, but animal rights activists succeeded in passing legal protections for these nuisance animals, driving up the cost of dog food. If we cloned an animal and released it in an area where it did not belong, we could introduce similar problems. But we have done the same thing centuries before cloning technology became available. So the cloning itself is neither good nor bad--it simply depends upon how it is used.
What do the children of asexual reproduction have in common with the parents?
Well normally asexual organisms are difined as single celled organisms the offspring of the parent would be identical. They would inheret everything from their one parent rather than from two separate parents, basically like cloning. The clone would be the offspring.
Which of these processes produce genetically identical organisms?
2 answers:1. gene cloninggene is inserted into a bacteria or a yeast cell, grow a colony, harvest the dna.2. PCRpolymerase chain reaction, can copy a small section of DNA in a test tube many millions of times in a few hours.
What is the environmental impact of cloning?
The main environmental concern in regard to cloning is the pollution that the process of cloning would produce. Cloning is done in a laboratory; and the amount of electricity needed to fuse the DNA and the nucleus of the original ovum is extensive. There are no environmental issues related to cloning in regard to food chains, only those similar to the normal human food chain. Unfortunately, all previously reported cloned animals have had extreme health defects, and if humans were to be cloned at a high rate, there would be huge amounts of pressure on our health care systems and an increase in the amount of hospital waste. Hope this helps. :)
What is the potential benefits of cloning human beings?
Some potential benefits of cloning humans, animals, plants, etc. would be cloning needed body parts for sick people, cloning important people, cloning missed, loved ones, etc.
Define cloning then explain cloning in your own words?
Cloning, to me, is making a total duplicate of someone's body. But with no spirit put there by God, then it would be without a mind, will or emotion.
What would the variables be if your cloning cabbage?
I do not believe that anyone in the world has their own cloning cabbage, so the question makes no sense!
How would the destruction of wetland adversly impact living organisms?
They would hurt them because the wetland is their home and abiotic and biotic factors cant make a environment
What impact would the spraying of fungicide have on soil dwelling organisms?
Plant and animal diversity would decrease due to reduced amounts of available carbon and nitrogen
