To determine:
The way human cloning and stem cell therapy relate to human reproduction and development.
Introduction:
Cloning is a process of producing genetically identical copies of a cell or an organism. Cloning occurs during the replication of a cell asexually without undergoing any genetic alteration or recombination. Cloning is generally defined as the multiplication of any kind of biological material such as a piece of DNA.
To determine:
The reason that human cloning and stem cell therapies are controversial.
Introduction:
Stem cells have the potential to form every tissue in the human body. These cells have the potential of self-renewal and produce the offsprings that are genetically identical to the originating cell.

- There are many applications of cloning technology. List the applications that you think are most acceptable and those that are least acceptable. Explain your reasoning.arrow_forwardWhat is cloning and what is it used for? *Must be 5 sentences or more*arrow_forwardWhat is one of the ethical issues related to using embryonic stem cells? O A. Embryonic cells are donated. B. Embryonic cells need to be revived from dead tissue. O C. Embryonic cells are harvested from young embryos. O D. Embryonic cells are unfertilized and become fertilized through in vitro fertilization.arrow_forward
- What is the main moral problem regarding the cloning of human individuals?arrow_forwardDescribe three methods of your choice that are used to study the function of genes during embryonic development. Use the editor to format your answerarrow_forwardShould cloning be made legal in order to help bring more awareness of the benefits of duplicating stem tissue for research? for example, using it to research uncurable diseases like schizophrenia or spinal cord injuriesarrow_forward
- Fill in the following with the correct words about cloning (the first blank will be the first word and the second blank will be the second word. There are two types of cloning, the first is when scientists change the cellular function this is called cloning and can help with creating insulin and vaccines to name a few. The other type is when DNA is extracted from a somatic cell and is used to replace DNA in an egg, this is called cloning. O gene, organism O organism, gene O specific, general O micro, macroarrow_forwardWhy should changing the genome of human embryos ( human germline gene editing) not be allowed? Please use images provided as helparrow_forwardTherapeutic cloning is a process of producing embryonic stem cells that could possibly be used to grow healthy tissues and organs. The process involves the removal of the nucleus from a mature somatic cell and injecting this nucleus into an unfertilized egg. The egg then begins to divide and, after four to five days, embryonic stem cells begin to form. These embryonic stem cells are unique in that they can develop into different types of tissues, and scientists believe they can direct the cells to develop into specific tissue types that they choose. What are some possible applications of therapeutic cloning? Explain your answer. BIUarrow_forward
