Binary fission & Therapeutic cloning

• Binary Fission:

  1. cell division in bacteria
  2. in optimum temperature and nutrients, bacteria can multiply as often as every 20 mins
  3. the lid of a petri dish must be sealed enough to still let oxygen in. This is so harmful bacteria don't need oxygen aren't able to grow
• Therapeutic cloning:

  • cells from a patients own bosy ae used to create a cloned early embryo of themselves
  • stem cells from this embryo can be used for medical treatments and growing new organs
  • not rejected when transplanted because they have the same genes as the patient
