Cloning

• Individuals that are genetically identical are clones of one another - plants are much easier to clone than animals
• plants - take a cutting of the plant and repot it to produce a clone
• Tissue culture is when small groups of cells from a plant are taken and grown under special conditions - a mass of identical plant cells forms called a callus, these get grown into the new plants
• embryo transplants are used to clone animals - an embryo with all unspecialised cells is split into smaller groups - each group is transplanted into a host animal to develop
