Document Summary
Found the methodology contained ne silk thread to pull apart the cells without damaging them. Cool the cells, shutting down important mechanisms of the cells - less damaged. 4 main types of cloning: molecular cloning. Making identical molecules that are produced by the body. Making copies of single molecules: cellular cloning. Makes copies of cells to establish cell lines. Used to make human tissues - skin, heart: embryo twinning. Re-implantation could result in identical animals: nuclear somatic transfer. 1952 - briggs and king extracted nucleus from advanced frog embryo, added to frog egg - did not develop. 1963 j. b. s haldane coins the term clone . The word clone derived from the greek ion meaning twig or slip. 1981 - illmensee and hoppe claimed to have produced 3 exact clones of a mouse. 1984 - willadsen cloned a live lamb from immature sheep embryo cells. 1985 - willadsen cloned a sheep/goat chimera - geep.
