can we make dodo bird by using cloning technology?

Answer 1

base on theory, yes. but practicaly, the problem is the sample of DNA, there is complete DNA code or not.

Answer 2

In order to make a dodo, you would need a full genome (set of genes) of the bird, which would require some very good samples of dodo tissue.
The last surviving remnants of the dodo are a stuffed head and a foot. In 1755, the director of the Ashmolean Museum in Oxford ordered the last full stuffed dodo to be burned on a bonfire. The only reason the head and foot still survive is because someone who knew the importance of the stuffed bird happened to walk past the fire and rescue what was left.
Any DNA that was left in the dodo head and foot would have degraded by now, so it is extremely unlikely that there is a surviving set of dodo genes.
Even if they did manage to get a full set of dodo DNA from this sample, like the answer above says, you'd need an egg cell and a sperm cell. Our cloning technology is not good enough yet, but theoretically, you could put a copy of the dodo genes in the sperm and egg of something like a chicken (though something closely related to the dodo would be best). There would be problems with the development of the egg though unless the surrogate egg was very similar in shape and size to a dodo egg.
Once the first few dodos are cloned, a surrogate egg wont be needed anymore.
The dodos would be very susceptible to re extinction, because they'd all be genetically identical, so would all be susceptible to the same diseases.
Maybe though in the future they'll invent a technique to do controlled mutations, and create genetic variation in a population, so they don't all die from the same disease - but thats getting sidetracked and is a long way off.

The bottom line is they will NEVER clone the dodo. But that doesn't mean they wont clone other extinct animals that they have good genetic samples of.

Answer 3

Clone Dodo Bird

Answer 4

I dont think its possible without some alteration to the original dodo.

Suppose we do happen to find dodo dna such as from a flash frozen dodo. The problem then comes from our primative cloning techniques. So far an egg cell is still needed for the cloning process, except that the sperm cell is made from the dna of the animal you want to clone.

If you remember in jurasic park they used frog egg cells which later caused them the sex change phenomena which is a frog trait.

Therefore, when we clone we will still need a dodo egg cell or equivalent. However, the equivalent would alter the original dodo dna.

Answer 5

theoritically it is possible but physically impossible. where will the scientist get the dna? from a dead mosquito or something like in jaurassic park?

there are plenty of dodos in the world today, we do not require more of them.

besides, you never know these scientists might want to make next -a man *** dodo????.

Answer 6

If we see a bridge ought to we blindly merely bounce off it without examining the excuses and repercussions of our strikes formerly? i think of that cloning technologies can provide mankind some incredible opportunities, yet to start resurrecting extinct species is probable no longer a sensible use of our time. we've greater pressing concerns to attend to precise now, the supervisor of it somewhat is our very own drawing close extinction on the palms of an ever warming international that would elect to wipe us away with flood, or maybe nonetheless some rock in area that would crash down and blot out the sunlight, killing all existence on earth. we ought to consistently probable positioned cloning on the backburner for a jointly as and choose the thank you to deflect the metorite which suits to bypass uncomfortably close to to our planet. verify this link for April 15, 2029.

Answer 7

um not unless someone finds a dodo, which is pretty unlikely. all those years ago when they went extinct, no one thought to save a bit for cloning.

Answer 8

Not yet.
For this we must obtain the DNA of the dodo

Answer 9

Yes! Of course! Just get a chicken and an idiot. Ta da!..... DODOS.....

Answer 10

If they do find strands of their dna... but I would love to see the DODOs again... meaty meaty ^_^
