Study Notes
Cloning
- Cloning occurs when a living creature is copied.
- Cloning results in two organisms with the same genes, which are small structures containing information that determines the body's appearance and behavior.
- Genes are inherited from parents.
Cloning in Nature
- Cloning is not limited to laboratories, it also occurs naturally.
Genetic Information
- An animal's cells contain genetic information called DNA in their nucleus.
- All cells of an animal have the same DNA information.
- Each cell uses only a part of the DNA to function properly, while the remaining part is inactive.
Cloning Animals
- A single cell contains all the DNA of an animal, allowing scientists to create physical copies of an animal from one cell.
- Animals are composed of billions of cells.
