3. Cloning Process of producing similar populations of genetically identical individuals that occurs in nature when organisms such as bacteria, insects or plants reproduce asexually. Three types: (1) recombinant DNA technology or DNA cloning (2) reproductive cloning (3) therapeutic cloning

4. Recombinant DNA Steps: 1.Create sticky ends 2. Ligate two DNAs 3.Place recombinant DNA in bacteria 4. Selection 2008.igem.org

5. Reproductive cloning 1.Use egg with donor DNA 2.Use enucleated egg with donor nuclease wonderquest.com

6. Therapeutic cloning Using molecular methods or reproductive techniques Create treatments for heart disease, Alzheimer's, cancer Custom medicine, insulin Possible organs

12. Seminar Question What are some of the great benefits to being able to create genetic clones? What are some of the great dangers? If you were in charge of the nation’s cloning policy, what rules would you establish and why? What creature is the most complex creature that should be allowed to be cloned, and why? Should humans be cloned? Why or why not?
