Resource summary
Cloning Mind Map
1 Types of Cloning
1.1 Organism Cloning: exact genetic
copies of living things
1.1.1 Artificial Embryo Twinning:
seperation of very early embryo
cells into individual, identical cells
1.1.2 Somatic Cell Nuclear Transfer:
removal of an egg cell's single
set of chromosomes
1.1.2.1 Dolly the Lamb was an
exact genetic replica of
an adult female sheep
1.2 Gene Cloning:
isolation of a gene in
order to create an
exact copy
1.3 Stem Cell Cloning:
manipulation of stem cells
for the repairing of damaged
or diseased organs and
tissues
2 Cloning Myths
2.1 Instant Clones: -
is believed that
clones magically
appear the same
age as the
original -
incorrect - clones
are genetically
identical but will
need to grow and
develop as the
original did
2.2 Carbon Copies: - is
believed that clones are
exactly the same (will
look and behave in the
same manner) - not true
- genetically identical
twins look relatively
similar but develop
disticnt differences
through the years -
clones grow and develop
differently from the
original - mitochondria is
different in clones
2.3 Artificial Process: - is
believed that al cloning
happens in a lab
through artificial
embryo twinning and
nuclear transfers
2.3.1 identical twins
from mammals are
naturally occuring
clones
2.3.2 female aphids
grow into identical
copies of their
mothers
2.3.3 starfish cut in
half will
regenerate into
identical copies
