C2 Cloning
If the ball of cells splits, two embryos develop.
Both of the embryos will come from the same fertilised egg cell.
They will have the same genes.
They will be clones.
BUT…

C2 Cloning
These twins are clones of each other, but not of their parents.

C2 Cloning
Simple organisms often reproduce asexually.
Asexual reproduction only passes on genes from one parent.
The offspring are identical to each other and their parent.

C2 Cloning
This strawberry plant is making clones by asexual reproduction.

C2 Cloning
If these potatoes are grown, the new plants will be clones of this parent.

C2 Cloning
Simple animals also use asexual reproduction. This Hydra is making clones by budding.

C2 Cloning
Plants can grow back because they keep some unspecialised cells as they develop.
These cells can develop into any kind of cell a new plant needs.

C2 Cloning
Selective breeding has produced varieties of plants and animals with features we want.
Flowers with particular colours and scents.

C2 Cloning
The new plant has the same genes as the parent.
It is a clone.

C2 Cloning
It’s not just reproductive cloning – copying people – that we could use this technology for.
Cloning human cells may be useful in treating illnesses.
This is called therapeutic cloning.
