MaxineProbes for cloned genes are usually short, single-stranded DNA or RNA molecules that are complementary to specific sequences in the cloned gene. These probes are labeled with a detectable marker, such as a fluorescent dye or a radioactive isotope, to allow for visualization and identification of the gene. The probes can be used in techniques like Southern blotting or in situ hybridization to detect the presence and location of the gene in a sample.

Do cloned animals lose their genes?
No, cloned animals do not lose their genes. The genetic material in a cloned animal is identical to the original animal it was cloned from. The process of cloning involves replicating the DNA of the original animal to create an exact genetic copy.
All cloned animals are also transgenic?
Not all cloned animals are transgenic. Cloning involves making a genetic copy of an existing individual, while transgenic animals have had genes from another organism inserted into their genome. Cloned animals can be created using the original individual's genetic material without introducing new genes.
What is the complete collection of cloned DNA fragments from one organism?
A genomic library is the complete collection of cloned DNA fragments from one organism. These fragments are typically inserted into vectors and stored in a host organism, allowing researchers to study and analyze specific genes or sequences.
What is the name of the first cloned scheep?
The first cloned sheep is named Dolly. She was cloned in 1996 at the Roslin Institute in Scotland.
Dolly is not a transgenic animal because all of her genes are from the same kind of organism?
That's correct. Dolly the sheep was not a transgenic animal because she was cloned from a cell of another sheep, meaning all her genes were from the same species without any genetic modification from other organisms.
