Visual: Cloning

Cloning diagram showing tissue culture process for plants (meristem to clones), adult cell cloning for animals (Dolly the Sheep - nucleus transfer, surrogate mother), natural cloning examples (runners, tubers, identical twins), and ethical considerations

Remember: Clone = genetically identical | Plants: tissue culture, cuttings | Animals: adult cell cloning (nucleus transfer into egg cell)

Quick Recall Flashcards

What is the main difference between plant and animal cloning?
