... Law, the recent developments in technology makes much of the legislation obsolete. California's Cloning Ban prohibits cloning which involves replacing a human egg's nucleus with that of another human cell. This law does not mention the fusing of the human cell with a cow cell that has been stripped of its nuclei. If the same technique can be used to produce normal human embryos then these ... because of the poor wording. In some state bills it says that it prohibits cloning of a genetically identical person, but eggs carry mitochondrial DNA in their cytoplasm so a clone created by nucle...

... synthesis and replication. Protein synthesis : is the production of the proteins needed by the cell or virus for its activities and development. Replication : is the process by which DNA copies itself for each descendant cell or virus, passing on the information needed for protein synthesis. CHAPTER II Review of ... process calls for single cells to be separated from a growing calf embryo. Each cell is then injected into an unfertilized egg and implanted in the womb of a surrogate cow. Because the nucleus of the unfertilized egg is removed beforehand, it contains no genetic material that ...

... exact copy of an adult sheep in a process called cloning. What the researchers actually did: they took an unfertilized egg cell from a female sheep and removed the entire DNA (genetic information) from the nucleus that is needed to produce an embryo. Next, they took a cell- that carried the genetic code from both its parents-from another sheep that they wanted to clone and put ... endocrinologist and infertility specialist Daniel A. Dumesic, M.D., said that it would be the same technique that was used by Scottish scientists to clone the adult sheep Dolly and is called somatic cell nucle...

... 1980s, to mammals" (58). Simply explained, the nuclear transplantation process involves taking a donor egg cell and removing the nucleus (removing all DNA). Then a mammary cell, one which has all the DNA needed to make another being, is taken from the subject that is too be cloned. Then the cell is fused with the egg cell with a jolt of electric current. The cells begin to multiply into generic stems ... ...
