Genetics Part 1

To make a clone what type of cell must be taken from the donor?

• Egg cell

• Body cell

• Hair cell

What is a disadvantage of cloning plants?

• All the plants have the same DNA so they could all die from a disease

• They are more expensive

• They will be smaller

To make a clone what part of the donor cell must be removed?

• Nuclues

• Cytoplasm

• Cell membrane

• Mitochondria

Clones have the exact same:

• Personalities

• Physical appearances

• Intelligence levels

• Genetic material

How might cloning eventually help humans live longer?

• Clones tend to live longer than the parent organism

• Cloned human organs could replace unhealthy ones

• By being cloned multiple times, a person could essentially live forever

• The food obtained from cloned organisms would be healthier than ordinary food

1. Which process makes variation / genetic diversity possible?

• a. Mitosis

• b. Meiosis

• c. Both

• d. None
