how does cloning work?

Question

if you took DNA from an animal, how would you clone that animal?

Answer 1

Extract the DNA from any animal, remove the genetic material inside a female animal's ovum, place the extracted DNA inside the "empty" ovum, insert ovum with the new, full set of genetic matierial in the uterus... wait how ever long it takes for the animal to give birth.

Human females do not have EGGS, for all of you out there who think they do. We're mammals, we don't have eggs. They're called ovum.

Answer 2

Cloning is the process of making a genetically identical organism through nonsexual means. It has been used for many years to produce plants (even growing a plant from a cutting is a type of cloning). Animal cloning has been the subject of scientific experiments for years, but garnered little attention until the birth of the first cloned mammal in 1997, a sheep named Dolly

The most popular technique of cloning is:
1. Get an egg from a donor, extract the nucleous and disgard it.
2. Get a skin cell from the animal you want to clone.
3. Extract the nucleous from the skin cell.
4. Implant the egg with the extracted nucleous.
5. Now the egg will develop into tadpole
6. Finally it will cleave until it grow resemble the animal.

Simply because the donor egg has no DNA, while the skin cell nucleous has one full DNA sequence. So the new born will exactly resemble one parent.

Answer 3

You have to get an egg cell from the female animals ovary, remove the DNA, and put in the DNA from the animal you want to clone. Place the egg back into the female animals ovary and it will develop into an exact copy.

you can only clone animals because human cloning is illegal!

Answer 4

You can't clone an animal just by using its DNA alone. For a detailed explanation serch the web with the keyword 'cloning'. Hope this helps you!

Answer 5

Basically, a cell is devided into 2 same cells. Its da same as twins, where a cell divided into 2 same cells, n continue to multiplied s usual then.. So by taking a cell from a person, it can be used to make it multiply, n becomes another same person.. But however, i dont think they wud be exactly the same, s u can c da slight difference among twins. These slight differences are caused by surroundings, like food and enviroment, and other factors s well.. =)

Answer 6

The DNA is within the nucleus of a cell. If you took the nucleus of a cell and transplanted it into an egg cell which has had its nucleus removed, you get a clone.

Essentially.

Answer 7

by putting it in a cloning machine

i could expain it to you if you knew greek
