Clone your animal method 1. Ingredients: somatic cell and egg cell Remove the nucleus from the egg Remove the nucleus from the somatic cell Inject the nucleus from the somatic cell into the enucleated egg Stimulate growth Implant into surrogate mother.

Clone your animal method 2. Ingredients: somatic cell and egg cell Remove the nucleus from the egg Fuse the somatic cell with the enucleated egg cell Stimulate growth Implant into surrogate mother. How do they do it?

Task Collect a somatic cell and write on it the name of the animal of origin and its pet name Collect an egg cell from the same type of animal, give it a pet name & remove the nucleus Implant the nucleus from the somatic cell into the egg cell Does the offspring have the same genes as the somatic parent or the animal that donated the egg cell?

Transgenic organisms Create a zygote and introduce a new useful gene Implant the animal into a surrogate mother The grown animal should now exhibit the trait that the gene implanted into the nucleus carried Antibodies or enzymes in milk for example
