Why Clone? - 1 views

  • Cloning animal models of disease Much of what researchers learn about human disease comes from studying animal models such as mice. Often, animal models are genetically engineered to carry disease-causing mutations in their genes.
  • To clone or not to clone: that is the question. The prospect of cloning humans is highly controversial and raises a number of ethical, legal and social challenges that need to be considered.

    This is a site that show why people clone things

    Just fix your tagging put animal cloning together by putting " " around it and do that with the tagging of the science article too so its one word. This isn't really a science article it's just saying why you should clone and giving pros and cons.
  •  
    I don't think this a science article since it's not very informative on what cloning is and the process.
  •  
    Is this a scientific article? Or is this something different with just lots of information about animal cloning? This link has lots of information about animal cloning but it does not have anything that supports this information.

    both your team mates are correct. Not a science article

BBC - GCSE Bitesize: Cloning methods in animals - 2 views

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

NIH OSE - Research in the News: Creating A Cloned Sheep Named Dolly (Grades 9-12) - 0 views

  • 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.
  • ...7 more annotations...
  • 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.
    • Inga V.
       
      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.

    This is a good one for technique!

    so are you talking about the technique they have discussed here? Then you haven't tagged it correctly.

    What media type is this? Opinion? Article?
  •  
    Hey colin could you fix your tagging? Just put animal cloning together by " " doing that around it and put your name and what media type this is. Just do this for one below too. It's a really good website :)

Animal Cloning - 0 views

  •  
    Is this a report? Or a blog or an article? Its not very clear.
  •  
    Hey Inga,can you change your tagging? just add what media it is,your name,and put animal cloning together. It seems like a good website :)
  •  
    Hi Ms. Vora, This was supposed to be a link that I had to delete but since people have already commented on this I can no longer delete this link. So now I just kept it as an information link or a different science article but just please look at the other four. Thanks

    Cloning is a backup now in case animals are near extinction. Brazil has saved 420 wild tissue samples including: Black Lion Tamarin,Bush Dog,Coati. They are also about to start cloning the Manned wolf.

    What media type is this? Is it a blog, description of a technique? Science article? I am not sure. You haven't tagged it.

    It's from 2004 so it's too out-dated.
