Cloning

Gbogbo ọrọ náà

In 1996 a single sheep made headlines around the world. Dolly was the first mammal cloned from an adult body cell, proving that a fully differentiated cell still contains all the genetic information needed to build an entire organism. Cloning - producing genetically identical copies - is not just a laboratory curiosity: it underpins a huge plant propagation industry and opens the door to producing human proteins from animal milk.

This topic covers plant cloning through micropropagation (tissue culture), the stages of adult cell cloning as illustrated by Dolly, and the use of cloned transgenic animals to manufacture valuable human proteins. You will explore the advantages, limitations, and ethical questions surrounding each technique.

Ebumnobi

  1. Describe the process of micropropagation (tissue culture) in which explants are grown in vitro
  2. Understand how micropropagation can be used to produce commercial quantities of genetically identical plants with desirable characteristics
  3. Describe the stages in the production of cloned mammals involving the introduction of a diploid nucleus from a mature cell into an enucleated egg cell, illustrated by Dolly the sheep
  4. Understand how cloned transgenic animals can be used to produce human proteins

Gardeners have been cloning plants for centuries - every time you take a cutting from a favourite rose bush and grow it into a new plant, you are producing a genetic clone. Modern tissue culture scales this up dramatically: from a few cells scraped off a parent plant, laboratories can generate thousands of identical plants in weeks. Animal cloning is harder, but Dolly the sheep showed it was possible, and the technique now has practical applications in medicine.
