How is the cloning of genes different from the cloning mammals?

The difference between cloning genes and cloning a mammal is that when a gene is cloned, it is typically removed from a DNA sequence and inserted into an organism. The cloning of a mammal, however, is when a somatic cells from the mammal are cloned to produce a "copy" of the mammal.


Is cloning human being possible?

It hasn't been achieved so far, but since other mammals have been cloned, it doesn't seem impossible. There are currently more ethical and legal problems, than technical problems (cloning is already illegal in some countries).


What mammals have scientists already cloned?

Do platypuses have babies or eggs?

What do echidnas feed their young?

Echidnas are mammals, despite being egg-laying mammals, or monotremes. Therefore, like all mammals, they feed their young on mothers' milk.


Where is the technology for human cloning?

As of now, human cloning remains largely theoretical and is not legally or ethically practiced. While advancements in reproductive and therapeutic cloning technologies have been made in animals, such as the cloning of sheep and other mammals, significant scientific, ethical, and regulatory hurdles prevent human cloning. The technology required for safe and effective human cloning is not yet available, and many countries have laws that prohibit such practices. Research continues in related fields, but the focus is primarily on stem cell therapy and regenerative medicine rather than cloning humans.


How can scientists tell megatheriums was mammals?

Scientists can tell Megatheriums were mammals by examining their skeletal features, which show characteristics common to mammals such as specialized teeth, a jaw structure adapted for chewing, and a reproductive system unique to mammals. Additionally, the presence of hair or fur impressions in some preserved specimens further supports the idea that Megatheriums were mammals.


How often does cloning work?

The success rate of cloning can vary depending on the species, but generally it is relatively low. For example, in mammals, the success rate of cloning using somatic cell nuclear transfer is usually less than 5%. This is due to challenges such as developmental abnormalities, low pregnancy rates, and early postnatal mortality.


What prevents animals losing too much heat?

What are echidnas classed as?

Echidnas are classed as mammals. Specifically, they are monotremes, or egg-laying mammals. They are classified as mammals despite being egg-layers, because the young suckle mothers' milk. This is the defining characteristic of all mammals. Like most other mammals, they also have fur.
