Despite many depictions of cloning in Science Fiction as a process that makes a duplicate of the original organism, it actually makes a genetically identical baby, which then has to grow up at the same rate that any other baby grows up. Cloning is a form of asexual reproduction. And most people, if they wish to reproduce, would rather do so sexually than asexually. Personally, I do not wish to be cloned.

What creature is the most complex creature that should be allowed to be cloned andwhy?

Very few complex animals should be cloned, because cloning does not work much of the time, and there are a Lot of "mistakes" that have to be killed and disposed of. Cloning should only be done with complex animals to prevent their extinction, where there is no other way to save the species. A person once cloned their pet cat. The new cloned cat did not look or act like the original cat that was cloned. Anyone who thinks they are going to clone somebody, or some pet, and believes they are going to get an exact duplicate that looks and acts like the original cloned subject is mistaken.


Which substance is responsible for determining which cell or cells will eventually become cloned?

The nucleus of a cell contains genetic material that determines which cells will be cloned. It contains instructions for cell differentiation and replication through processes like mitosis in somatic cells or somatic cell nuclear transfer in cloning. By manipulating the genetic material in the nucleus, scientists can direct which cells will become cloned.


What might be a problem for being cloned and what would be the benefits of being cloned?

Well one of the benefits of being cloned can be if you are tired of work and school then you can have your clone go instead of you. Or the problem of cloning can be either if u come out a baby then u have no hope to count on that baby or either if the clone doesnt come out excactly like u because the machine can have problems...


What organisms does cloning use?

Cloning can be used in various organisms, including plants, animals, and even microbes. Commonly cloned organisms include sheep (like Dolly the sheep), cows, pigs, and various plant species for agricultural purposes. Microorganisms such as bacteria are also commonly cloned for research and industrial applications.


Is cloning possible?

of course not. Surprisingly though, it's one expariment the some scientists work on everyday. That's how big of a deal it is.Actually, it is. Unfortunately, the problem with that is that the cells are literally cloned, so the clone would be just as old as the animal or vegetable it was cloned from, regardless of what it looked like. The person above me has obviously never looked into it fully.

Can a cloned animal have babies?

Can identical twins have babies? Yes. A cloned animal, except for its age, is indistinguishable from an identical twin. Depending upon how it was cloned, the telomeres of its DNA may be shortened, but this would have little impact on its ability to breed. In short, yes, cloned animals may have babies, and live out their lives as naturally as uncloned organisms, and this has been demonstrated in numerous cloned species.

Can cloned humans reproduce with all of the benefits of a real human?

Cloned humans would be biologically identical to the original, so they would have the potential to reproduce like any other human. However, ethical and legal considerations may prevent the cloning of humans for reproductive purposes, as there are significant moral and practical concerns associated with human cloning.

How long does a clone human live?

Cloned humans, if they were to exist, would theoretically have a lifespan similar to that of non-cloned humans, assuming they are born healthy and do not face any specific medical issues. However, studies on cloned animals, like sheep, have shown that they can experience various health problems and shorter lifespans. The long-term effects of cloning on human health and longevity are still unknown, as no human clones currently exist. Therefore, predicting the lifespan of a cloned human remains speculative.

How much of the food on the market is cloned food?

The only people who would have even a semi-accurate account of the amount of cloned food that is being sold today are the companies who are putting it there and government agencies who are allowing them to do it. Cloned food is a lot like genfoods (foods containing ingredients from genetically modified plants or animals). By the time the word about GMOs in the foods we buy at the supermarkets got out to the masses, GMOs were ingredients in almost all processed foods. It will be the same for cloned foods unless enough people speak out against it NOW.


If a person was cloned would the clone be the same person from a metaphysical point of view?

Clone. A person who is almost identical to another. Notice, "almost identical". I am sure that I would be right in saying, that only in form would the likeness show. Warts and ingrowing toe nails, also thoughts would belong to the original. The cloned individual would be more like a maternal twin, but of different age based on the age of the donor when the clone was made.


Can the clone growing like a normal person?
