  • What is a Clone
  • In biology, a clone is a cell or an organism that is genetically identical to another cell or organism.
  • How was Dolly Created? Dolly is different. She was generated from a specialized adult cell, not from an unspecialized embryonic cell.

  • Why is Dolly so special?
  • Why did researchers create Dolly?
  • created Dolly because they are trying to find ways to produce livestock that carry specific genetic traits.
  • find ways to produce animals that carry certain proteins in their milk.
  • if researchers can develop animals with desirable characteristics, they can then clone those animals to produce entire herds that carry the same traits.
  • Scotland tried 277 times to create cloned sheep, and they succeeded only once.
  • Dolly is special because she disproves the notion that cells from an adult animal are too specialized to generate a new organism.

      This basically says that Dolly is special proves the theory wrong that the cells from an adult animal are too specialized to make a new baby.

    This is a science article and it has lots of information about animal cloning. It explains what a clone is in detail, has lots of diagrams to show what it means and lots of information about dolly.

  • Fusion cell cloning
  • Fusion cell cloning involves replacing the nucleus of an unfertilised egg with the nucleus from a different cell.

      In fusion cell cloning they inject something into the egg that will produce the next sheep. The baby of this sheep that was born then will also become a clone of the A sheep.

      I chose fusion cell cloning. A fun fact about fusion cell cloning is that dolly, a famous cloned sheep, was also cloned this exact way.

    Great techniques. Choose one you want to focus on .

    Fusion cell cloning is basically taking the a body cell from A sheep and doing the same thing from the B sheep to then make a C sheep. The lamb of that sheep is then going to be a clone of the A sheep.

  • 20 Animals That Have Been Cloned
  • 1. Carp (Featured above: A common carp, as-yet-uncloned) An Asian carp was cloned successfully in 1963; ten years later, scientist Tong Dizhou also cloned a European crucian carp.
  • 2. Dolly the Sheep Dolly saw the light of day in 1996. She lived until the age of six. The first cloned mammal, Dolly is considered to be a great success. Later, several hundred other Dollies were cloned.

    There were many successful cloning.

    I am not entirely sure which category of media this falls under. Doesn't seem to meet the requirements of any of teh 4 media types we have asked you to research.
