Cards

Term
clones
Definition
-creation of organism that is an exact copy another
-identical DNA
Term
artificial twinning
Definition
splitting an embryo to produce two new embyros that are implanted and become genetically identical organisms
Term
nucleus
Definition
cellular compartment where genetic information is stored
Term
somatic cell
Definition
all cells in organsim except sperm and egg
Term
SCNT
Definition
using nucleus from a somatic cell to produce an organism identical to somatic cell donor
-clones will be slightly different
Term
embryo splitting (twinning)
Definition
-cells come from same zygote
-occurs in petri dish instead of mothers body
-manually seperating early embryo into individual cells
-can't clone adults
Term
somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT)
Definition
isolate somatic cell from female sheep, transfer nucleaus from cell to egg cell which nuclease has been removed, egg cell behaves just like freshly fertilized zygote
-can clone adults
Term
steps in SCNT
Definition
1. remove nuclei from egg cel
2. inject somatic nucleus into enucleated egg cell
3. allow reprogramming of the cell
4. allow the development of an embryo to begin
5. implant into a surrogate mother
6. deliver the clone
Term
----donate DNA to baby sheep
baby sheep is clone of ---- sheep
Definition
-both sheep
-cell that is given and put into egg
Term
theraputic
Definition
uses same steps as reproductive up until blastocysts, destroy this, and take cells to make into stem cells
Term
reproductive
Definition
-use blastocysts, put into surrogate mother to make a new individual
Term
reprogramming
Definition
-resets gene expression
-genes may develop differently because of enviorment or mitochondrial DNA
