With first clone
Answers
Answer:
A) Cloning: In principle, cloning is the process of producing genetically identical individuals. Cloning is observed in nature. Cloning can also be Biochemical or Reproductive. Cloning involves the producing of genetically identical individuals of an organism either naturally or artificially.
B) Cloning in nature: In nature, many organisms produce clones through asexual reproduction. Cloning in biotechnology refers to the process of creating clones of organisms or copies of cells or DNA fragments (molecular cloning). It happens often in nature—for example, when a cell replicates itself asexually without any genetic alteration or recombination. Prokaryotic organisms (organisms lacking a cell nucleus) such as bacteria create genetically identical duplicates of themselves using binary fission or budding. In eukaryotic organisms (organisms possessing a cell nucleus) such as humans, all the cells that undergo mitosis, such as skin cells and cells lining the gastrointestinal tract, are clones; the only exceptions are gametes (eggs and sperm), which undergo meiosis and genetic recombination.
C) Two historic events in picture attachment:
Dolly the sheep became the first clone of an adult mammal, at the Roslin Institute, near Edinburgh in 2003.

- PRODUCTION OF EXACT COPY OF CELL OR ANY OTHER LIVING PART,OR COMPLETE ORGANISM IS CALLED CLONING.
- CLONING OF ANIMAL WAS FIRST PERFORMED FOR THE TIME BY IAN WILMUT IN EDINGBURGH(SCOTLAND).
- THEY SUCCESSFULLY CLONED A SHEEP NAMED DOLLY.
- DOLLY WAS BORN ON 5th JULY,1996 AND WAS FIRST MAMMAL TO BE CLONED.
- IT WAS MAJOR DEVELOPMENT IN FIELD OF ANIMAL.
- DOLLY DIED ON 14th FEBRUARY 2003,DUE TO CERTAIN LUNG DISEASE.
