Yes, an adult cell can be injected into an egg cell to produce a clone, a process known as somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT). In this technique, the nucleus of an adult somatic cell is transferred into an enucleated egg cell, which can then develop into an organism genetically identical to the donor of the somatic cell. This method was famously used to create Dolly the sheep, the first cloned mammal, in 1996. However, cloning in this manner raises ethical and technical challenges and is not widely practiced in humans.
What else can I help you with?
What has genetic engineering not been able to do?
Clone a human from a single cell of an adult human.
Dolly the cloned lamb was unique because she was?
dolly was the first clone to be produced from an adult cell
Can the nucleus of an adult cell be injected into an egg cell and produce a clone?
Yes, it is possible to create a clone by transferring the nucleus of an adult cell into an egg cell. This process, known as somatic cell nuclear transfer, has been used in cloning research to create genetically identical animals. However, there are ethical concerns associated with human cloning.
A member of a population of genetically identical cells produced from a single cell is a?
clone. Clone is the answer!
Does stem cells clone humans?
no. stem cells can clone A cell that's put around it, like a heart cell or pancreas cell but it can't clone an entire person (though it would aid the process).
What is a example of a animal that has exactly the same set of genes as its parents?
Clones have the same set of genes as their parents. For example, Dolly the sheep was a clone created from a single adult somatic cell, making her genetically identical to her parent sheep.
Cons on cloning?
C. Placing an adult nucleus in a cell without a nucleus.
What is the term given to a group of cells that develop from an original cell?
The term given to a group of cells that develop from an original cell is a "clone." Each cell in the clone carries the same genetic information as the original cell.
How single cell clone can be obtain from a cell culture?
A single cell clone can be obtained from a cell culture by diluting the cell suspension to a point where each well in a multi-well plate contains only one cell. This is usually done using a method called limiting dilution. By isolating single cells in individual wells, each cell can grow and divide independently to form a clone with identical genetic composition.
Where do you get the clone's DNA?
You can get it from the original's cell nucleus from one of its cells.
How can you say a cell will die when the nucleus is removed while saying a red blood cell is a living cell?
Cells don't die after the nucleus is removed. That is how we clone things, we remove the nucleus from an unfertilised egg cell and insert the DNA of the animal we wish to clone.
To produce Dolly did Ian Wilmut remove the nucleus from a sheep body cell and fuse it with a cell taken from another adult?
Yes. An udder cell was taken from one sheep and injected into an unfertilized cell. These were caused to fuse by the use of electrical pulses. Once fused, the cell was transplanted into a surrogate mother.
