Is cloning by sexual reproduction?

No. Sexual reproduction involves a fusion of the nuclear contents of one gamete (say, a sperm), with the nuclear contents of another gamete (say, an egg). The resulting cell has two alleles, or versions of a gene, for every gene in the (nuclear) genome. This cell (a zygote) thus has a full diploid nuclear genome, having derived half of its genes from its father and half from its mother. During cloning (at least during somatic cell nuclear transfer, which is one type of cloning method), a full diploid nucleus from a somatic cell is transferred to an egg cell that has had its nucleus entirely removed. In this way, all of the nuclear genes come from one individual- whoever the nucleus of the somatic cell's owner was. So, to reword, during sexual reproduction, half the genome comes from the mom and half from the dad, but during cloning, the whole genome comes from one individual, but gets put into an egg that has been emptied (or, enucleated).


How was Polly the sheep cloned?

Polly the sheep was cloned using a technique called somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT). This process involved taking a nucleus from a somatic cell of an adult sheep and transferring it into an egg cell that had its nucleus removed. The egg cell was then stimulated to develop into an embryo, which was implanted into a surrogate mother sheep, ultimately resulting in the birth of Polly, a genetic copy of the donor sheep. This groundbreaking method demonstrated the potential for cloning in mammals.


What are the differences between nuclear and thermal energy?

Thermal energy is a quantity that can be measured in BTU or Calories. Heat transfer is just a method of transferring that energy from one place to another, or one part of a machine to another part. Heat transfer does not create any energy in itself.


How do you calculate the nuclear composition of isotopes?

The mass spectrometry is a method of evaluation.


How do stars like the sun create energy that is later radiated away into space?

Stars like the sun create energy through nuclear fusion in their cores. This process involves the fusion of hydrogen atoms to form helium, releasing a tremendous amount of energy in the form of light and heat. This energy is then radiated away from the star into space.

What is the most commonly used method of cloning?

The most commonly used method of cloning is called somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT). This involves transferring the nucleus of a somatic cell into an egg cell that has had its nucleus removed. The newly formed embryo can then be implanted into a surrogate mother to develop into a clone.


What method do scientists use to make identical offspring from adult cells?

Scientists use a process called somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT) to create identical offspring from adult cells. This involves transferring the nucleus of a somatic cell into an egg cell that has had its nucleus removed, resulting in a genetically identical embryo. This technique has been used in various scientific studies and in cloning animals.


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.
