How is the burdock adapted for seed dispersal?

The seeds (burrs) of the Burdock are covered in hooks which catch onto the clothes of humans, or the fur of animals that brush against the ripe burrs.

Incidentally, it was this hook and cloth process that led to the Velcro fastening system, much used today.


What is the process of cloning a sheep?

The process of cloning a sheep, famously exemplified by Dolly the sheep, involves somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT). First, a somatic cell is taken from the sheep to be cloned, and its nucleus, which contains the genetic material, is extracted. This nucleus is then inserted into an enucleated egg cell (an egg cell with its nucleus removed). The egg cell, now containing the donor's genetic material, is stimulated to divide and develop into an embryo, which is then implanted into a surrogate mother to carry the cloned sheep to term.
