1、CloningUnit 2differvi.不同;相异ObjectiveTo learn some basic information about cloning.A clone is an animal or plant produced naturally or artificially from the cells of another animal or plant and is exactly the same as it.Cloning is a way of making an exactcopy of another animal or plant.The clone has

2、the same DNA as the parent.Whats cloning?Sounds Reasonable?There are different types of cloning,and cloning technologies can be used for other purposes besides producing the genetic twin of another organism.The three typesof cloning technologies are:(1)recombinant DNA technology or DNA cloning（基因重组克

3、隆技术）(2)reproductive cloning（生殖性克隆）(3)therapeutic cloning（治疗性克隆）克隆一词是英文单词clone的音译，作为名词，clone通常被意译为无性繁殖系。同一克隆的所有成员的遗传构成是完全相同的，例外仅见于有突变发生时。自然界早已存在天然植物、动物和微生物的克隆。人们开始探索用人工的方法来生产高等动物克隆。这样，克隆一词就开始被用作动词，指人工培育克隆动物这一动作。目前，生产哺乳动物克隆的方法主要有胚胎分割和细胞核移植两种。克隆羊“多莉”，以及其后各国科学家培育的各种克隆动物，采用的都是细胞核移植技术。所谓细胞核移植，是指将不同发育时期的胚胎

4、或成体动物的细胞核，经显微手术和细胞融合方法移植到去核卵母细胞中，重新组成胚胎并使之发育成熟的过程。由于细胞核移植是产生克隆动物的有效方法，故人们往往把它称为动物克隆技术。In pairs,look at these pictures and discuss which ones are natural clones and which ones are man-made.Think about how they differ.QuizDolly the sheepA strawberry plantNatural cloneMan-made clone一株草莓依靠它沿地“爬走”的匍匐茎,一年
