12. Recent developments have resulted in the ability to clone cats. Many people argue that cloning offers pet owners comfort in

a time of need. Others argue that there are many homeless pets at shelters in need of homes, and that adopting one of these animals is a better solution for owners who have lost a pet. Do you think that the cloning of pets is acceptable? Explain why or why not.

Cloning is a process of producing genetically identical organisms through the techniques of biotechnology. Reproductive cloning of animals involves the somatic cell nuclear transfer in which the nucleus from an adult donor cell is transferred to an egg cell from which the nucleus has been removed. It is then incorporated into the uterus of a surrogate animal.

Pet cloning is not acceptable because of the following reasons-

(1) Its a very expensive procces with a high rate of failure.

(2) The clones produced tend to develop health problems. Large Offspring Syndrome (LOS) with very large organs is observed showing problems with blood flow and breathing with respect to heart and lungs, renal failure and other complicated issues.

(3) The clones are susceptible to skeletal abnormalities, higher rates of infection and tumour development. This results in a high mortality (death) rates.

(4) Since a surrogate mother is involved in the process of cloning, they experience a lot of health problems while carrying the embryos and sometimes it can be even killed.

Thus, cloning of pets is not acceptable as it affects both the cloned animal and the surrogate mother which is not preferred. Instead, adopting a homeless pet will provide shelter to another animal with a better nourishment.

I do not think cloning of pets is acceptable because it disregards the value of a pet's life by making it so easy to make another pet.

During periods of intense exercise, cells do not receive enough oxygen to perform the normal process of aerobic cellular respira
Wewaii [24]

Answer: for me the best option is D.

Explanation: lets explain this.

Cellular respiration begins with a process that divides the glucose within the cells making it readily available as a source of energy. This process can occur without oxygen (anaerobic respiration) or in the presence of oxygen (aerobic respiration). Anaerobic respiration generates more excess waste (lactate) than aerobic . Besides, high levels of lactate build within the muscle cells. Excess lactate slows the cellular respiratory process and is experienced as a burning sensation in the muscles if exercise continues.

Two planets with the same mass and atmospheric conditions orbit a single star. Planet A is closer to the star than Planet B. Whi
sveticcg [70]

Answer:

Planet B is expected to be cooler than Planet A.

Explanation:

In the given case, planet A is closer to the star than planet B. Their atmospheric conditions and mass is same so their surface temperature will depend on their distance from the star. Since planet A is closer, it will receive more radiation from the star. In turn it will be hotter to re-radiate that energy back to space. Hence, average surface temperature of planet B will be lower than planet A.
