Cloning

Cloning: Copy this! The process of creating a genetically identical copy of an organism by asexual reproduction.

Ex. 1: asexual reproduction in bacteria Natural Cloning… Copy this! Ex. 1: asexual reproduction in bacteria some plants and single-celled organisms, such as bacteria, produce genetically identical offspring through a process called asexual reproduction

Natural Cloning… Ex. 2: Identical Twins Copy this! Ex. 2: Identical Twins Identical twins are the result of a single fertilized egg splitting into two separate embryos. Since identical twins come from the same fertilized egg, they have the exact same DNA. They are always of the same sex and they have the same blood type.

Copy this! Artificial Cloning Process that involves removing the DNA from one organism and putting it into an empty egg of another organism and then implanting it into a third organism. The clone will be identical to the first organism that donated the DNA
