Attempts At Cell Fusion Attempts At Cell Cloning

individual plants or animals that are genetically
identical to another plant or animal. Nature is
the greatest cloning agent. In about one of every
75 human conceptions, the fertilized ovum splits
for some unknown reason and produces identical
twins. Each has a genetic makeup identical to the
other. Bacteria, yeast and other cells multiply
rapidly; these methods make possible the
production of many copies of a particular gene.
The copies can then be isola...

that controls heredity. The genetic material is
contained in chromosomes, which are divided into
genes. Point mutations involve single genes and
occur by substitution and insertion or deletion of
a single base in DNA. Insertions or deletions,
referred to as frameshift mutations, shift the
reading of the code by one or more bases so that
all amino acids produced after the addition or
deletion are affected. Translation is a series of
complex biochemic...
