Individual Task-Honing In On Cloning

There are two tasks you are expected to complete on this page. The first will familiarize you with the terminology associated with cloning. You will become comfortable with words such as cloning, genetic, DNA, embryo, somatic cell transfer, fertilization, zygote, Petri dish, cell, surrogate, nucleus, enucleation, germ cells, and chromosomes. You will need to know this information to complete the individual task. Click on Laboratory Help! above to obtain the definitions for the words listed.

Now, to obtain a thorough understanding of the differences and similarities among the three different types of cloning: Therapeutic or biomedical; Adult DNA or reproductive; Embryo or artificial twinning, go to: http://www.religioustolerance.org/cloning.htm

Now that you are familiar with the terminology and the three different types of cloning, click on Mimi the Mouse below to get to the Click and Clone website:

Click and Clone at Genetic Science Learning Center

Here, you will be able to actually clone your own mouse. When you complete this interactive assignment, go to the Honing In On Cloning Task Sheet to complete the form and submit it to your teacher for your individual grade. Click here to print a copy of the Honing In On Cloning Task Sheet.

Don't forget to go back to the Process page and join your team for the group work.
