... and how it got to be the large-scale discussion it is today. In 1938, Hans Spemann thought of a "fantastical experiment" to transfer one cell's nucleus into an egg without a nucleus. That is the basic thought in the process of cloning. In 1944, Oswald Avery discovered that genetic information was carried by the nucleic ... a clone of a monkey was done in March of 1997. That brought the cloning close to humans due to the relative likeness between primate and human DNA. There are many benefits to cloning. Many of the reasons people really want to see the cloning continue are the medical ben...

... in a lab). With this DNA product the scientists added transcriptase to the mix along with the RNA bases and the lo and behold the RNA was formed. The scientists then created a "juice" for the RNA to create a virus within. This "juice" consisted of shredded up human cells. From this "juice" was extracted the nucleus, mitochondria and other cell structures not needed for ... in the mice. Interleukin-4 is a substance that aids in the immune systems response to foreign invaders. Supposedly the production of interleukin-4 would be so enhanced that it would recognize a mouse egg as foreign, a...

... may follow this pattern. Cloning, in the future, could also be used to save endangered species. How? Well cloning allows people to turn any cell into an animal. Instead of injecting DNA into an egg, you can shoot DNA into cells in a petri dish. It can also be useful to increase the population of hard-to-breed animals. Cloning can also help us bring ... ...
