B3h Cloning: advantages and disadvantages

Advantages

  • You can be sure of the characteristics of the offspring because they will be genetically identical to the parent.
  • It is possible to mass produce large numbers of plants, which may have been more difficult, or taken more time, to grow from seed.

Disadvantages

  • If the plants become sustainable to disease or sensitive to a change in the environment, all the plants will be affected.
  • The reduction in genetic variation reduces the potential for selective breeding.

Evaluation

Overall, if cloning of animals is perfected it will be likely that the same and more issues will be created, from the plants.
