Cloning and Fossils

Types:

Tissue culture:

• A few plants cells are grown into plants in a growth medium with hormones and they grow to clones of the previous plants.
• Quick and very little space.
• Tissue culture is used to grow rare plants and keep the population healthy.

Cuttings:

• Gardeners take them to plant them and grow a new plant that is an identical copy of the parent.
• quick and cheap.

Adult cell cloning:

1) Take an unfertilised egg and replace its neucleus with one from an organism you wish to clone. This way your new egg has the same genetic information as the parent cell that was the neucleus.

Points:

• Reduced gene pool- this means there are…
