  1. Animal Cloning

  2. What is animal cloning • Animal Cloning in biotechnology refers to processes used to create copies of DNA fragments (molecular cloning), cells (cell cloning), or organism. • A sample of DNA is taken from the parent to be used as the DNA of the cloned animal.

  3. Dolly the sheep Dolly, a Finn Dorset ewe, was the first mammal to have been successfully cloned from an adult cell. Dolly was formed by taking a cell from the udder of her biological mother. Her embryo was created by taking the cell and inserting it into a sheep ovum. The embryo was then placed inside a female sheep that went through a normal pregnancy. She was cloned at the Roslin Institute in Scotland and lived there from her birth in 1996 until her death in 2003 when she was six. Her stuffed remains were placed at Edinburgh's royal museums, part of the National museums of Scotland

  4. Extra info • In the United States, the human consumption of meat and other products from cloned animals was approved by the FDA on December 28, 2006, with no special labelling required. Cloned beef and other products have since been regularly consumed in the US without distinction.
