This paper is about DNA and cloning and how it is performed and should humans should be cloned Steen Willadsen invented cloning in 1984 by cloning a animal and then went on to cloning humans. DNA also known as deoxyribonucleic acid is hereditary material in the human body and almost every other organism on earth. Every cell in the human body is the same, human DNA consists of about 3 million bases and more than ninety-nine of those bases are the same in all people. DNA bases pair up with one another, ( A) with (T) and (C) with (G) to form units called base pairs. DNA can make copies of itself. The structure of the double helix is somewhat like a ladder. Most DNA is located in the cell nucleus. A small amount of it can be found in the mitochondria. Clones are organisms that are exact genetic copies. Every single bit of …show more content…
Identical twins are one of many examples of cloning. Cloning can also be done in a lab. The process of cloning is more natural than technical. Which is good because it could be more dangerous if you were to use technology. Cloning is done two different ways, Artificial embryo twinning this way is low tech instead of high tech and more safe and popular. While the embryo is made of just two twinning happens within the first few days after the sperm and egg join together. The embryo is made up of a small number of unspecialized cells. They divided on there own and eventually become their own individual. Since they are from the same egg they are identical. The second way people are cloned is called Somatic cell nuclear transfer. Also known as (SCNT), this way of making clones is different than artificial cloning. The DNA is divided into packages and those are called packages and they hold all the information to create a human. This processes uses chemicals and is more
