5 Questions
What is the process described in the text?
Cloning
Why must scientists activate the DNA that was not active in the parent cell?
To ensure proper embryo development
Why do clones not behave in an identical way, according to the text?
Because they live in different environments
Why are identical twins that carry the same DNA different, according to the text?
Because they grow up in different environments
What is the purpose of transferring the nucleus of an animal's cell into another animal's egg cell?
To produce a clone with the same genetic information
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.
