Cloning
What is a clone?
An IDENTICAL COPY (GENETICALLY)
How??
removing the nucleus of a body cell and substituting this nucleus for the nucleus in an egg
The egg then thinks it has been fertilizes and develops in a test tube
Once large enough it can be placed into a foster mother and develop and be born naturally.
How do we isolate genes?
We have to know what genes code for the desired trait…
we also need to know where to find the gene in order to cut it
Create 3 different Transgenic Organisms using this simulation
Watch: How are GMOs made?
