WHAT IS CLONING?
 A procedure to produce multiple
identical copies of a biological unit
such as a gene, a cell, or an organism.

THREE TYPES OF
CLONING
Gene cloning
Reproductive cloning
Therapeutic cloning

Gene cloning
• Molecular cloning, Recombinant DNA
technology or DNA cloning
• Gene cloning is the process of creating
identical copies of a specific gene or DNA
sequence.
• Gene cloning is genetic engineering technique
self replicates and generates a large number
of identical copies of the particular gene.

REPRODUCTIVE
CLONING
• Reproductive cloning - is a type of cloning which
is performed for the purpose of creating a
duplicate copy of another organism.
• Dolly the sheep was the first mammal cloned
from adult DNA the process is called “Somatic
cell nuclear transfer” (SCNT).
• Somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT) - in this
process the genetic material from an adult cell
(any type - skin,blood,etc) is traansferred to an
egg that has had its nucleus removed. It is then
stimulated to produce an embryo by chemical or
electric current.

THERAPEUTIC
CLONING
•Therapeutic cloning, also called “embryo
cloning” is the production of embryos for use
in research.
•Therapeutic cloning use cloned embryos for
the purpose of extracting stem cells from
them without ever implanting the embryos in
a womb
•The goal of this process is not to create
cloned human beings but rather to harvest
stem cells that can be used to study human
development and to treat disease.
