The only time anything was ever cloned was when a sheep named Dolly was cloned. They took two sheep that looked similar and breed them. Then they took DNA from the female and put it in the embryo. Therefore cloning isn't expensive because it's only been done once.
ACTUALLY, cloning has been done around 25 to 35 times and yes it is expensive, which is why humans didn't go crazy with making more clones and have only been done around 25 times when it has been discovered over 20 years ago. Also there's a very low chance of survival rate for the clone.

∙ 11y agoThere is a very low success rate. Only 2-3% of trials produce viable subjects and even fewer develop into a functioning organism. If a functioning organism is even produced, they generally have a lower life expectancy and are more suspectable to disease and infection. The proccess is also meticulous and unreliable.

What is the biology meaning of reproductive cloning?
reproductive cloning - making a full living copy of an organism; requires a surrogate mother
What is artificial cloning?
When a clone is made without the use of artificial cloning. Natural cloning: Twins, mitosis, asexual reproduction Artificial cloning: SCNT, therepuetic + reproductive cloning.
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 does the process of reproductive cloning begin?
The process of reproductive cloning begins by A. genetically modifying an embryo. B. genetically modifying a stem cell. C. placing an adult nucleus in a cell without a nucleus. D. isolating cells to learn more about how they specialize.
What new ways are there of cloning?
A world wide breakthrough occurred recently when a scientist named Samuel Wood cloned himself. Although the embryo clones, about the size of a pinhead, survived only five days, it was proven that the actual creation of human clones WAS possible and may later serve to cure many hereditary diseases.

What are the 3 types of reproductive cloning?
types of cloning
What is the biology meaning of reproductive cloning?

What is the status of human reproductive cloning in the world?
There is no evidence of successful human cloning in the world.
What is artificial cloning?
When a clone is made without the use of artificial cloning. Natural cloning: Twins, mitosis, asexual reproduction Artificial cloning: SCNT, therepuetic + reproductive cloning.
What are the different types of cloning?
Somatic, Reproductive, Therapeutic
The similarities of reproductive and therapeutic cloning?
the answer is this has cells and the other doesn't.
What are all the different types of cloning?
The most discussed type of cloning is reproductive cloning, producing a genetically identical copy with fatalities up to 95 percent. Therapeutic cloning is research based involving stem cells. Recombinant DNA technology involve injecting DNA .
Is cloning meat cheap?
cloning is very expensive very hello
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.
Difference between reproductive cloning and therapeutic cloning?
Reproductive cloning scientist investigate about cells, an egg cell and mix the nucleus, therefore a sollution of the egg cell transfers the nucleus of the somatic cell into the eggcell, then they add mitosis to the egg cell containing the somatics DNA, resulting in an 16cell embryo then it is placed in the womb of a female to create a clone. While therapeutic cloning people look at embyos and how they are formed.
Definition of gene cloning?
Gene cloning is the replication of DNA fragments by the use of a self-replicating genetic material. Unlike reproductive cloning, which replicates an entire organism, gene cloning duplicates only individual genes of an organism's DNA.
Which cell technology was made possible by the development of micromanipulation tools?
I belive it is Reproductive Cloning.
