When a clone is created what type of cell is used to star growing a clone .haploid or diploid?
The answer is both. The first half is an egg cell, a haploid. Its nucleus is destroyed by UV radiation leaving the rest of the cell still in the 'ready to become a zygote' mode. The second half is the nucleus of some other cell, a diploid. (usually this is the nucleus of a young blood cell as they are easy to get at. When Blood Cells are young they still have their nucleus, mature ones do not.) The nucleus of the diploid cell is then placed inside the (formerly) haploid cell. We zap it a little with electricity, and presto, we have a viable clone 20% of the time.
What type of reproductive occurs when animals produce clone offspring?
asexual
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.
What was the first experiment conducted in cloning?
The first successful cloning experiment was conducted by biologist John Gurdon in 1958 with frogs. He transferred the nucleus of a fully differentiated cell from a tadpole into an egg cell that had its nucleus removed. This led to the development of a clone of the original tadpole.
A member of a population of genetically identical cells produced from a single cell is a?
clone. Clone is the answer!
Can an adult cell be inected into a egg cell and produc a clone?
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.
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.
Cons on cloning?
C. Placing an adult nucleus in a cell without a nucleus.
What method was used to clone dolly?
nucleus transfer
Is Cloud a clone of Sephiroth?
Cloud is a 'Sephiroth Clone', but not a clone of Sephiroth. In game terms, a 'Sephiroth Clone' was simply someone injected with Jenova's cells, and who Sephiroth was able to control indirectly due to his own link with Jenova. It does not imply they are a clone of him, in the traditional sense of the word.
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.
Does cloning have to do with heredity?
No, because when you clone an animal of some sort, you are taking a nucleus of one of its cells and implanting it in another mammal's reproductive system (i.e. womb) where it will grow. When it is born, it will be the clone of the mammal you took the cell's nucleus from. However, there are some negative affects. When you clone an animal, that animal might have bone problems, sicknesses, and diseases than the usual amount of problems it might have when it is NOT a clone.
How do you clone something?
take a DNA sample (sperm)then put it in a female egg.To clone something you need the DNA of the individual you want to clone (lets say subject A). You have to remove a group of cells from subject A and remove the nucleus of the cells. You now have the DNA for your clone. Next you need to get a egg cell. This cell is obtained by a different individual (subject B). The nucleus of subject B is removed and discarded, the egg cell is kept and the DNA from subject A is injected into the egg cell of subject B. This egg cell is then inserted into another individual refereed to as the surrogate mother, the egg cell attaches to the uterus of the surrogate mother and is given a small electric shock to stimulate the division of the cell. The egg then grows into a fetus as normal and the clone of individual A is born naturally by the surrogate mother.
Why is a clone always female?
A clone is often female because many cloning processes, particularly in certain species like sheep, use a technique called somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT) that typically involves transferring the nucleus of a somatic cell into an egg cell that has had its nucleus removed. If the original cell came from a female, the resulting clone will also be female, as it inherits two X chromosomes. Additionally, in some species, male clones are less viable or harder to produce, leading to a predominance of female clones in certain cloning practices.
Why do photos of Dolly always show the adult animal never the lamb?
The adult/adult photographs show the remarkable similarities, of the clone to the original, better than the adult/lamb comparison would.
What has genetic engineering not been able to do?
Clone a human from a single cell of an adult human.
