Cloning- Open Access Journals

 Cloning, the method of generating a genetically identical copy of a cell or an organism. Cloning happens often in nature—for example, when a cell replicates itself asexually with none genetic alteration or recombination. Cloning is the process of producing individuals with identical or virtually identical DNA, either naturally or artificially. In nature, many organisms produce clones through agamogenesis. Cloning in biotechnology refers to the method of making clones of organisms or copies of cells or DNA fragments. There are three differing types of artificial cloning: gene cloning, cloning and biomedical cloning. Gene cloning produces copies of genes or segments of DNA. Reproductive cloning produces copies of whole animals. They can grow replacement organs, like hearts, livers and skin. They can even be wont to grow neurons to cure those that suffer from Alzheimer's, Parkinson's or Rett syndrome. And since the stem cells would come from embryo clones using your own cell's DNA, your body would readily accept them. Cloning refers to the method of developing an embryo with the DNA from an adult animal. The newly created embryo is then zapped with electricity in order that it starts multiplying, until it becomes a blastocyst, which is then implanted into a mother.
