  • Cosmo and Retro were born 3 1/2 years ago.
  • Rintel had Astro’s DNA frozen twice and then paid $140,000 four years ago to a lab to insert the DNA into a donor egg that would be implanted into a surrogate.
  • Parkgoers have been fuming over the dogs’ bad behavior
  • ...7 more annotations...
  • An Upper West Side man loved his pet, Astro, so much, he made a hat out of the pooch’s fur — and cloned him into two more dogs.
  • Now he defiantly lets his copycat collies run around Central Park without a leash — and neighbors say dogs are terrorizing the Upper West Side.
  • “This is a tragedy waiting to happen,”
  • “They look like lions in the jungle. They roam free,”
  • “We call them ‘the clones,’ ” said a dog owner who claims the two pooches came out of nowhere and attacked his black Lab puppy in Central Park.
  • But Rintel defended his dogs as “good boys” and said the walker wasn’t paying attention to them.
  • They’re not threatening or dangerous dogs. They’re playful and they’re under check,” he said.

    Other people are complaining about Rintel, a guy who loved his dog so much that he had his dog cloned twice. His dogs are biting other people and dogs and people from around the neighborhood are complaining about the case.

  • some Brazilian biologists are pushing a more controversial idea: They want to save endangered species by cloning them.
  • The project is still in its infancy,
  • and no cloned jaguars or tamarins will likely be born anytime soon.
  • ...6 more annotations...
  • the plan doesn't involve releasing clones into the wild, where they could undermine conservation by weakening their species' gene pool. Instead, clones would be used to supplement zoo populations and to assist with captive-breeding programs.
  • 90 percent of cloning attempts failing
  • expensive and highly inefficient,"
  • While cloning endangered species is a relatively new pursuit, Brazilian scientists have been copying beef cattle for more than a decade.
  • "We are still in the phase of developing the technology, so we still don't know if it will be possible to rescue a population in the wild, but we could potentially make it viable again."

    Brazilian biologists want to save different species by cloning animals. These people hope to save the species that way and put clones into zoo's and other places. They would not put them out into the wild because their they might weaken the species.

  • 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.

      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.
  • Inga V. on 11 Feb 13
     
    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.
  • Inga V. on 11 Feb 13
     
    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.

    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
