Genetic modification

• Is this diagram molecular cloning or genetic engineering?

  Molecular cloning

  
• Reproductive cloning:

  • Nucleus removed from somatic cell of sheep A
  • Nucleus removed from egg cell of Sheep B
  • Nucleus from sheep A inserted into gutted egg cell of sheep B
  • Embryo placed back into Sheep B, the clone will be sheep A

  
• The plasmid is used to insert foreign DNA.
• Name the structure found in bacteria that is used to produce insulin during molecular cloning.


  Plasmid
• Which cell nuclues will contain the DNA we want to copy?

  Somatic cells
• Which cell will we remove the nucleus in order to insert the desired DNA?

  Ovum cell
