Yesterday, we watched a small video about cloning. All they did was stick a tube like thing in the membrane and took the nucleolus and put it into another cell or egg. Thats how one cloning was in the video. There are reproductive cloning and therapeutic cloning.
Reproductive cloning is to try and generate an animal DNA into another animal's DNA who is somewhat similar. Kind of what the video was showing.
Therapeutic cloning, known as "embryo cloning", is not to create cloned human beings, but rather to harvest stem cells that can be used to study human development and to treat disease. To learn about more click here.
