Chapter 8, Problem 15SQ
Summary Introduction
Concept introduction: Cloning produces identical copy of a gene or a protein or an organism. Cloning includes several planned interventions. Reproductive cloning refers to any technology that produces clones in vitro from a single cell, be it a plant or an animal. Somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT) is a type of reproductive cloning technology.
