CLONING
PRESENTED BY
Nilima SarwarSamavi Farnush Bint-E-NaserRazia HasanAsma-Ul-Husna
WHAT IS CLONING?
Greek word klōn, meaning twig
The process whereby a new plant can be
created from a twig.
Cloning is the creation of an
organism that is an exact genetic copy
of another. In a cloned cell, every
single bit of DNA is the same between
the two!
HOW DID IT ALL START?
More mammals (mice,cows,goats)
cloned by sometic cell
nuclear transfer
1998 and onwards
Dolly: First mammal
created by somatic cell
nuclear transfer
1996
First nuclear transfer
from laboratory
cells
1995
First mammal
created by Steen
Willadsen
1984
First mammalian
embryo created by
Derek Bromhall
1975
First cloned tadpoles by
Robert Briggs and Thomas
King
1952
First idea of cloning proposed by Hans Spemann
1938
As the rate of successfully cloned animals grew, new possibilities were being explored by scientists and researchers

DIFFERENT TYPES OF CLONING
Therapeutic cloningReproductive
cloningDNA cloning
or Gene cloning
- Cloning to make stem cells
- Reviving Endangered or Extinct
Species
- Drug production
- Production of recombinant proteins,
recombinant DNA
- Transgenic organisms
- Gene therapy
- Gene cloning in agriculture
Applications
DIFFERENT TYPES OF CLONING (cont’d)
Therapeutic cloning
involves the cloning of
human embryos for the
production of stem cells.
The embryos are
eventually destroyed in
this process.
DIFFERENT TYPES OF CLONING (cont’d)Organism cloning involves
making an identical copy of
an entire organism. This
type of cloning is also
called reproductive cloning.
DIFFERENT TYPES OF CLONING (cont’d)
Gene cloning
focuses on
making identical
copies of DNA
molecules
SOME PROS AND CONS OF CLONING
- Modify faulty genes and incorporate
the corrected genes
- Genetically modified food and
organisms
- Enhancement of nutritional value
- Reproductive cloning has immense
potential in reviving extinct species
- Stem cells can be produced for
treatment of various diseases
Why
pursue
cloning?
- Expensive procedure
- Rate of successful cloning is very
low
- Cloned livestock may be short
lived and disease prone
- High chance of cell mutation in
newly cloned species.
- Genetic diversity is reduced.
Considering the risks
CONCLUSION
Thank you
