AP BIOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Myth: Clones are always identical in looks. They have the same genes, but look a little different. That’s because of the way those genes are expressed-that is, how the information in that gene is seen in the actual animal.

Detailed explanation-2: -When you clone your pet, a piece of tissue is taken and broken down into its individual components, or cells. These cells are then used to make an identical genetic copy of your pet.

Detailed explanation-3: -There are a number of specific cloning techniques, but typically a cell nucleus from the animal you wish to clone is injected into a donor egg that has had its genetic material removed. The egg is then prompted to grow, in a laboratory, into an embryo.

Detailed explanation-4: -If I Clone My Pet, How Similar Will The Clone Be To My Original Pet? The clone and your original animal will be genetically identical, they will share the exact same DNA, and will therefore be a full genetic twin to your original pet.
