What is it? How does it work? Why is it used? What is it used on (humans, plants, animals, etc)? When was it first used? Who developed it?

Where I got my information

Clones are organisms that are exact genetic copies. Every single bit of their DNA is identical. The chromosomes are replaced with a nucleus taken from a somatic (body) cell of the individual or embryo to be cloned. Researchers routinely use cloning techniques to make copies of genes that they wish to study. Scientists use special mice to study diseases like cancer. Cloning them could help scientists research how diseases progress. To develop new medicines for humans, scientists use animals that are as identical as possible. Cloned monkeys could help improve the development of these medicines. Human cloning may refer to “therapeutic cloning,” particularly the cloning of embryonic cells to obtain organs for transplantation or for treating injured nerve cells and other health purposes.

• Cloning first used in 1996, Scottish scientists cloned the first animal, a sheep they named Dolly.
• First to develop cloning was Sir John Gurdon.
