Resource summary
Biology B25-26
Cloning
Tissue culture
Makes new plants by asexual reproduction
Small groups of cells
Put into a special liquid/jelly
must be clean
No bacteria/moulds
Must have chemicals to promote the development of the cells
Embryo transplants
used to produce cattle with desirable characteristics
Eggs taken from prize females and fertilised with one of a selected Bull's sperm
Each embryo develops into an 8-cell embryo (in a dish)
Each 8-cell embryo is split into 4 2-cell embryos
They develop into 8-cells
Each is put into the womb/uterus of a less-valuable cow
The surrogate mothers allow the embryos to develop inside them
The calves are born and are genetically identical to each other
Adult cell cloning
an unfertilised egg is taken from a Scottish Blackface Ewe
Its nucleus is destroyed
A cell is taken from the mammary gland of a Finn Dorset Ewe
Its nucleus is implanted into the empty egg cell
An electric shock is given to the egg cell to make it divide
It develops into an embryo
It is implanted into a host mothers uterus
Genetic engineering
Changing an organism's genes
Selective breeding
Enzymes
Making Insulin
Can be easily grown in large amounts
Made by genetic engineering
An enzyme is used to cut the insulin gene out of the chromosome
plasmids are then removed from bacterial cells.
The bacteria's plasmid is then cut to allow the insulin gene to fit into the space
he insulin gene is inserted into the plasmid
the plasmid is returned to the bacterium
The reproduction of bacteria and the plasmid makes insulin
embryos
the human gene of protein is cut out of the human chromosome
several copies of the gene are obtained
they are put into fertilised eggs
The fertilised eggs develop in a glass dish
One cell is taken from each ball of cells to find the ones of the desired sex (if applicable)
They are implanted into a host mothers womb and are left to develop and be born
Advantages
Organism is not harmed
Organism is kept in good conditions
Organism is valuable and will therefore not be killed for food/meat
A lot of protein can be made to treat people who are ill
