Cloning is a process of making a genetically identical organism through nonsexual means. It has been used for many years to produce plants.
Cloning is done naturally for billions of years. Is when a strawberry plant sends out a runner a new plant grows where the runner takes root.
A tissue propagation is when you take a leaf cutting from a plant and grow it into a new plant (vegetative propagation) you are cloning the original plant because the new plant has the same genetic makeup as the donor plant.
Dolly the sheep cloned by wilmut and his colleagues transplanted a nucleus from a mammary gland cell of a Finn Dorset sheep into the enucleated egg of a Scottish blackface ewe.
Dolly is a viable, healthy clone because she has grown and reproduced several offspring of her own through normal sexual means.
We carry out cloning to mass produce organisms with desired qualities, such as a prize-winning orchid or a genetically engineered animal – for instance, sheep have been engineered to produce human insulin.
Safety
Take care when using sterilising agents. Avoid contact with skin, wear safety goggles and latex gloves.
Wear goggles.
Keep away ethanol from open flame.
Once experiment is set up do not open test tube in case of contamination.
Avoid contact with plant hormones used.
Put your bags and coats under the desk.
