LT- Today, I can formulate an understanding of the steps of cloning by drawing evidence from a demonstration I watch, writing a description of the demonstration, and analyzing and creating diagrams. What are the steps of cloning?

Clone- an organism that is an exact genetic copy of another organism. Egg Cell- the female sex cell that contains the DNA that she will pass to her offspring. It contains ½ the DNA to make the organism. Body Cell- all other cells except the sex cells. These cells contain a complete set of the organisms DNA. Nucleus- Area within the cell that contains the DNA of the organism. Surrogate Mother- The woman whose body will host the developing offspring.

Somatic Cell- Body cells Germ Cell- Sex cells Egg Cell Donor- Woman who donates an egg cell. She may or may not be the surrogate. Body Cell Donor- Male or female that is going to be cloned. Embryo- An unborn offspring. Uterus- The organ in the female where the unborn offspring grows and develops until birth. Genetic Engineering- The process of manually adding new DNA to an organism or changing the existing DNA structure of an organism.

What is the role of the body cell donor? A body cell donor gives the DNA to make the clone. 2. What is the role of the egg cell donor? The egg cell donor gives the egg cell that will be used to create the embryo. 3. How will the body cell be used? The DNA within the nucleus of the body cell will be fused with the egg cell. This is the DNA used to make the clone. 4. How will the germ cell be used? The germ cell will be used to create the embryo. 5. What is the role of the surrogate? The surrogate’s uterus and body will be used to host the developing offspring until birth.
