Animal Cloning Flashcards
is a technique used for direct genetic modification of organisms using recombination of DNA
genetic engineering
a Finn Dorsett ewe, was the first mammal to have been successfully cloned from an adult cell.
dolly
is the creation of an organism that is an exact genetic copy of another
cloning
Procedure of isolating a defined DNA sequence and obtaining multiple copies of it in vivo.
DNA cloning
is used to amplify a single molecule of DNA into many copes
vectors
is a DNA molecule that has an origin of replication and is capable of replicating in a bacterial cell
cloning vector
They can replicate independently of the host cell
plasmid
circular, double-stranded DNA molecules
plasmid
are small circles of DNA found in bacteria
plasmids
This process entails the transfer of a nucleus from a donor adult cell to an egg which has no nucleus
reproductive cloning
is the production of human embryos for use in
research
therapeutic cloning
The goal of this process is not to create cloned human beings, but rather to harvest stem cells that can be used to study human development and to treat disease
therapeutic cloning
is the transplantation of living cells, tissues or organs from one species to another such as from pigs to humans
xenotransplantation
the first cloned endangered species
noah
is the production of pharmaceuticals in animals engineered to contain a foreign, drug-producing gene
