Is cloning an organism the same as cloning a gene

Biology

Answer:no. In nature, some plants and single-celled organisms, such as bacteria, produce genetically identical offspring through a process called asexual reproduction. In asexual reproduction, a new individual is generated from a copy of a single cell from the parent organism.

Natural clones, also known as identical twins, occur in humans and other mammals. These twins are produced when a fertilized egg splits, creating two or more embryos that carry almost identical DNA. Identical twins have nearly the same genetic makeup as each other, but they are genetically different from either parent

Gene cloning produces copies of genes or segments of DNA. Reproductive cloning produces copies of whole animals. Therapeutic cloning produces embryonic stem cells for experiments aimed at creating tissues to replace injured or diseased tissues.

Gene cloning, also known as DNA cloning, is a very different process from reproductive and therapeutic cloning. Reproductive and therapeutic cloning share many of the same techniques, but are done for different purposes.

The CRISPR system
Rzqust [24]

Answer:

The correct answer is b. recognizes foreign DNA sequences that have previously entered the cell and directs the Cas proteins to destroy them.

Explanation:

Clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPER) is the sequences of DNA found in the genome of prokaryotes and archaea. These sequences are added at a crisper locus in DNA by bacteria through capturing bacteriophage DNA during infection.

Then this sequence is used to detect a similar sequence of bacteriophage during subsequent infection and destroy them by Cas9 enzyme. Cas 9 enzyme uses a crisper sequence as a template to destroy similar phage DNA.  

So the CRISPER Cas system provides an adaptive defense mechanism to bacteria against foreign DNA coming from bacteriophage. Therefore the correct answer is b.
