1,742 wordsIn this century of rapid scientific discovery, there still exist natural phenomena with the power to inspire wonder and mystery. The cicada, an insect known since ancient times, is one such phenomenon. Because scientific knowledge of the cicada contains many gaps, these mysterious insects can still stimulate our imagination or lead us into confusion. At the present time, the cicada is many things to many people: it is a curiosity that should be approached scientifically; it is a source of supers...

Cloning Cloning Fertilized Egg
433 wordsCloning is the Cloning Cloning Cloning is the production of duplicate copies of genetic material, cells, or entire multicellular living organisms. The copies are referred to as clones. Cloning occurs naturally and is also engineered by human beings. The possibility that people might be cloned from the cells of a single adult human being had long been a subject primarily of fantasy and science fiction but became very definite at the end of the 20 th century. This possibility stemmed from the succ...

In the last five years, the science of cloning, has come to realization. What is a clone? A clone is a duplicate much like a photocopy is a duplicate, or copy, of a document (Kolate, 238). A good example of copies that occur in nature are identical twins, which are duplicates of each other. On a daily basis, molecular geneticists and other scientists use cloning techniques to r...

Zona Pellucid Cloned Embryo
853 wordsTrue Human Cloning Biological Aspects True human cloning involves taking a somatic cell from a person and removing its nucleus. Then the nucleus of a fertilized egg cell is removed and placed in the somatic cell. This is impossible in humans right now because the somatic cells are specialized and there are many genes that have been switched off in them that we do not know how to turn them back on. This was done with frogs however. The eggs were implanted with the nuclei from the intestinal linin...

Somatic Cell Nuclear Transfer Homo Sapiens
1,717 wordsTechnology has been a fundamental aid to humanity almost since the beginning of our species. At the earliest period of human life not one but three separate species shared this planet and the taxonomic classification of the Homo genus. (Hominid) For thousands of years Homo Erectus, Homo Neanderthalensis, and the more intellectually advanced of the three, Homo Sapiens, coexisted in a constantly conflicting but stable relationship. Until, quite suddenly 100, 000 years ago Homo Erectus disappeared ...

Bone Marrow Dna Cloning
985 wordsThe theory of adult DNA cloning is astoundingly simple: one takes the nucleus of a cell from an adult, which contains the adult s genes (DNA), and transfers it into an egg in place of that egg s own nucleus. The egg, placed in a surrogate womb can now develop into a baby that will grow to an exact copy of the adult. In reality the practice of cloning is more complicated. The only animal to have been produced this way is the now world famous Dolly. Dr. Ian Wilmut of the Roslin Institute in Roslin...

Endangered Species Human Cloning
802 wordsHuman cloning is the ability to take a cell from a human donor, take out the nucleus and place it in a unfertilized human egg. Finally the egg is placed into a female body in which the egg develops into a younger duplicate of the nucleus donor (sex depending on where the nucleus originated). However, in society such as ours which divides church and state, laws governing human cloning will have to reflect ethical positions that are not based on any God or set of religious beliefs. Issues that hav...

Kind of brings new meaning to the phrase love nest, doesnt it? All joking aside, the myth of Leda and the swan features Zeus (most powerful amo...
