Detailed explanation-1: -Reproductive cloning produces copies of whole animals. Therapeutic cloning produces embryonic stem cells for experiments aimed at creating tissues to replace injured or diseased tissues.
Detailed explanation-2: -Organism cloning (also called reproductive cloning) refers to the procedure of creating a new multicellular organism, genetically identical to another. In essence this form of cloning is an asexual method of reproduction, where fertilization or inter-gamete contact does not take place.
Detailed explanation-3: -Dolly the Sheep was created using a cloning method called Somatic Cell Nuclear Transfer or SCNT. In SCNT, the nucleus of an egg cell is removed and replaced with the nucleus of a donor adult cell.
Detailed explanation-4: -Reproductive cloning involves creating an animal that is genetically identical to a donor animal through somatic cell nuclear transfer. In reproductive cloning, the newly created embryo is placed back into the uterine environment where it can implant and develop. Dolly the sheep is perhaps the most well known example.
