Chapter 16, Problem 41E
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The process of cloning in humans is to be discussed.
Concept Introduction:
Cloning is the modification of DNA in fertilized eggs to produce genetically-engineered organisms. Scientists have conducted cloning experiments on different animals.
The cloning of embryos has been successful in animals. Adult organisms have also been cloned in mammals including cattle, pigs and mice.
