Cloning | Definition, Process, & Types | Britannica
2024年11月19日 · Cloning, the process of generating a genetically identical copy of a cell or an organism. Cloning happens often in nature, as when a cell replicates itself asexually without genetic alteration or recombination. Learn more about cloning experiments, cloning techniques, and the ethics of human reproductive cloning.

2020年8月15日 · Gene cloning produces copies of genes or segments of DNA. Reproductive cloning produces copies of whole animals. Therapeutic cloning produces embryonic stem cells for experiments aimed at creating tissues to replace injured or diseased tissues.
Cloning - Wikipedia
Cloning is the process of producing individual organisms with identical genomes, either by natural or artificial means. In nature, some organisms produce clones through asexual reproduction; this reproduction of an organism by itself without a mate is known as parthenogenesis.

2024年10月1日 · Cloning is a technique scientists use to make exact genetic copies of living things. Genes, cells, tissues, and even whole animals can all be cloned. Some clones already exist in nature. Single-celled organisms like bacteria make exact copies of themselves each time they reproduce. In humans, identical twins are similar to clones.

2016年7月5日 · Cloning a mammal defied the scientific dogma of its time. The success led to dire and fantastic predictions: Humans would be cloned. Diseases would be prevented. Lost children rebirthed.
Cloning (Animals) - an overview | ScienceDirect Topics
2016年3月3日 · Animal cloning is defined as the process of generating a genetically identical copy of the original organism. Although routinely performed in embryology laboratories worldwide today, there already existed animal cloning events in nature such as the occurrence of monozygotic twins.

2022年11月8日 · Animals can be cloned by embryo splitting or nuclear transfer. Embryo splitting involves bisecting the multicellular embryo at an early stage of development to generate "twins". This type of cloning occurs naturally and has also been performed in the laboratory with a number of animal species.
Animal cloning - Understanding Animal Research
Cloning creates a genetically identical copy of an animal or plant. Many animals - including frogs, mice, sheep, and cows - had been cloned before Dolly. Plants are often cloned - when you take a cutting, you are producing a clone.
