So far, there's just not enough DNA in the fossilized teeth. It's the same problem from Jurassic Park. I wish they could figure it out though.

How does the DNA of a clone compare to that of the parent versus how your DNA compares to your parents?

A clone's DNA is genetically identical to that of its parent, as it is created from a single cell of the parent organism, resulting in an exact replication of its genetic material. In contrast, your DNA is a combination of genetic information from both of your parents, inheriting half from each, which introduces variation. This means that while a clone shares the same DNA sequence as its parent, you have a unique genetic makeup that reflects contributions from both your mother and father.


Does the DNA must occur before a cell can divide?

Before a cell can separate, it has to unravel its chromosomes and clone all its DNA


Is polymerase chain reaction used to amplify DNA from a fossil a fetal cell or a virus?

The PCR reaction can be used to amplify DNA from all three sources mentioned. PCR relies on the use of short stretches of DNA that are 6 - 12 bases long to attach to the target DNA (the source where the DNA is coming from) so that the polymerase enzyme can make copies of the target DNA. As long as these primers are available (they can be commercially purchased in many cases), PCR can be carries out on fetal cell DNA and viral DNA. Fossil DNA however, may have undergone degradation. DNA has to be of a certain purity for PCR to work. If the fossil DNA had degraded or broken down, PCR cannot be carried out.


Does cloning produce an organism with identical DNA?

No. Think of a clone as an identical twin, just born a lot later.


What word do is used to describe the asexual reproduction of a genetic carbon copy of an animal or a plant?

The term you're looking for is "cloning." It is the process of creating a genetically identical copy of an organism using its DNA.

How would the DNA of your clone compare to the DNA of you?

Technically, it should be identical. The DNA should be exactally the same. This is what makes it a clone.

Can the DNA from a frozen mammoth be used to recover this extinct animal?

Yes. Viable DNA has been preserved withing the animal's teeth and bones. Many studies are being conducted to see if would be possible to clone a mammoth by using modern elephants as segregates.


Where do you get the clone's DNA?

You can get it from the original's cell nucleus from one of its cells.

How does shotgun cloning differ from the clone-by-clone method in genetic engineering techniques?

Shotgun cloning involves randomly breaking up the DNA of an organism and then piecing it back together, while the clone-by-clone method involves isolating and sequencing individual DNA fragments before assembling them in a specific order. Shotgun cloning is faster but less precise, while the clone-by-clone method is slower but more accurate in genetic engineering techniques.
