the steps to therapeutic cloning

  1. take the dna out of an egg cell

  2. put the patients dna into the egg cell

  3. the stem cell can divide and differentiate to form any type of body cell

advantages of cloning

  • could cure diabetes or paralysis

  • no rejection by patients body

  • dont have to be on a waiting list for organ transplant

3
New cards

disadvantages of cloning

  • embryos have to be destroyed - some people may not agree with it

  • a virus could be passed on

the cell cycle

  1. cell growth - number of mitochondria and ribosomes increases

    dna replicates (doubles)

  2. nucleus divides and a set of chromosones is pulled to each end (mitosis)

  3. cell membrane and cytoplasm divide to give 2 genetically identical cells
