Question

_____is the creation of an organism with the genetic information from another organism A fertilized egg is called a _____ embryo twinning involves separating early embryos and then allowing each part to develop, in a Petri dish. _____ (4 words) involve transferring the nucleus from a body cell into an egg, and allowing it to develop into an embryo. SCNT produces _____ clones, or genetic copies, of an individual. _____ the Sheep was produced through SCNT. A _____ cell is any cell in the body other than egg and sperm. Egg and sperm are also called _____ cells. Put the steps of SCNT in order: Surrogate mother carries the embryo to term Transfer the somatic cell nucleus into the gg isolate the nucleus from a somatic cell Remove the nucleus from an egg implant the embryo into a surrogate mother Stimulate the egg to divide and become an embryo

Explanation / Answer

Question 1: Answer: Genetic engineering or Genetic modification.

Genetic engineering also called genetic mdification is a tool in biochemistry used by scientists to create an organism by directly manipulating the genetic information of another organism.

Question 2: Answer:Zygote

A fertilised egg undergoes several stages of development and the initial stage is called as Zygote.

Question 3:Answer:Artificial

Cloning is performed in the laboratory by using artificial embryo twinning method which is low cost and effective.

Question 4: Answer:Somatic cell nuclear transfer

SCNT is a laboratory strategy for creating a viable embryo using a body cell and an egg cell.

Question 5: Answer: Viable

The clones formed through SCNT may not always be true copies of individual but are viable.

Question 6: Answer: Dolly

Question 7: Answer:somatic

Somatic cell are cells of a living organism other than the reproductive cells.

Question 8:Answer Reproductive cells

Question 9 : Answer :

Step 1: Isolate the nucleus....

Step 2: Remove the nucleus....

Step 3: Transfer the somatic cell......

Step 4: Stimulate the egg......

Step 5:Implant the embryo......

Step 6: Surrogate mother......
