Cloning

A clone is a group of organisms that are genetically identical. Most clones result from asexual reproduction, a process in which a new organism develops from only one parent. The one process of cloning, called nuclear transfer, replaces the nucleus of an immature egg with a nucleus from another cell. Most of the work with clones is done from cultures…….. When the nucleus has been inserted into the egg cell, the cell is given an electric shock to initiate the development ……An embryo has about thirty or forty usable cells but a culture features an almost endless supply.. Traditionally this is the sperm’s role. There are some advantages of different types of clones, such as they are useful for research.
In contrast there are also some disadvantages and different techniques that result from the cloning of different organisms.

The modern era of laboratory cloning began in 1958 when F.C. Steward cloned carrot plants from mature single cells placed in a nutrient culture co...
