- Process
- 1. Creation of identical twins by early
development of the embryo split.
- 2. Transference of the reproductive
cells in order to create identical twins.
- How is it done?
- 1. Artificial Embryo Twinning
2. Somatic Cell Nuclear Transfer.
- Aplications
- Fertilization,
improvement of animals
- Paternity & criminology
- Process
- Extraction of DNA from samples,
quantification of DNA for further
identification
- How is it done?
- DNA found in almost any
part of the body is analised
and identified
- Aplications
- Paternity tests, linking of crimes,
identification of people
- Transgenics
- Process
- Transplantation of genes from
one specie to another
- How is it done?
- By the modifications of the
genomes of living organisms
- Aplications
- Food, knock out mice,
pesticides.
- Gene therapy
- Process
- Replacing a mutated gene that
causes disease with a healthy copy of
the gene.
- Aplications
- Treatment of diseases and
infections.
- How is it done?
- Introducing a new gene into the
body to help fight an irregularity.
