Cuttings are taken from the
parent plant and then planted
creating genetically identical
copies of the parent plant.
Tissue Culture
Very Quick
Needs little Space
Can be Grown All-Year
A few plant cells are
planted in a growth
medium with hormones.
The clones produced are
entirely new plants that
are genetically identical
to their parent plant.
Animal
Embryo Transplants
Sex cells are taken from a male and a
female. The sperm is used to artificially
fertilise an egg cell. The embryo splits to
form clones before becoming specialised.
The cloned embryos then can
be implanted in many females
to produce calves genetically
identical to one another.
Adult Cell Cloning
An egg cell is taken and its genetic
material is removed and a complete set
of chromosomes from an adult cell is inserted.
The egg cell is then stimulated with a electric
shock to make it divide into an embryo. Once it's
become a ball of cells, it's implanted into an adult
female to grow into an identical copy of the adult cell.
