Finally I covered the whole thing with a large bucket. Then I waited. After two hours I removed the bucket and the bowl. The snakes were less active but they were still too fast for me. They abruptly disappeared into a convenient hole in the wall. So I had to adjust my plan. For the second attempt I froze the bowl and the icecubes again but placed them over the snakes39。3 ◎ 如果某個(gè)動(dòng)物群體沒有足夠的多樣性以戰(zhàn)勝疾病,那么克隆這種動(dòng)物的所有努力都將是無用的。s first cloned twin calves1981 first experimental clones of mice 2002 first cloned cats1983 first experimental clones of cows 2005 first cloned dog… From time to time people suggest that extinct animals like dinosaurs, can possibly be brought back to life through cloning. Unfortunately, with what we know now, this is either impossible or unsuitable. There are many reasons. ◎ The initial requirement is that you need perfect DNA (which gives information for how cells are to grow). ◎ All efforts of cloning an animal will be in vain if there is not enough diversity in the group to overe illnesses. Diversity in a group means having animals with their genes arranged in different ways. The advantage is that if there is a new illness some of these animals may die,but others will survive and pass on the ability to resist that disease to the next generation. The great drawback to cloning a group ofanimals is that they would all have the same arrangement of genes and so might die of the same illness. Then none of them would be left to continue the species. ◎ It would be unfair to clone any extinct animals if they were to live in a zoo. A suitable habitat would be needed for them to lead a natural life. Based on what we know now, you cannot clone animals that have been extinct longer than 10,000 years. Actually, dinosaurs disappeared 65,000,000 years ago. So the chance of dinosaurs ever returning to the earth is merely a dream.恐龍的回歸? 克隆兇猛和滅絕的野生動(dòng)物的可能性一直使電影制片商感到興奮。它引起了爭議,因?yàn)樗蝗淮蜷_了人們的眼界,看到了有可能:用克隆技術(shù)來治療重病,甚至克隆出人類。 9.這頭小羔羊就是母羊(B)所提,供的細(xì)胞核克隆而成的。2.在卵細(xì)胞中取出細(xì)胞核。這種現(xiàn)象也發(fā)生在動(dòng)物身上,從同一個(gè)原生卵子產(chǎn)生性別和相貌相同的雙胞胎也是克隆。 Cloning從1882年至1940年,天使島成為一個(gè)著名的移民站,許多中國人在那兒申請美國居住權(quán)。 傍晚,跟彼得和泰莉一起去中國城。 在漁人碼頭看了這么多東西,我太累了,什么也不想干了。先是乘纜車,在山頂攬勝,觀看舊金山灣及整個(gè)城市。s a tourist area with lots of shops, sea food restaurants and bakeries.

Altogether Dolly lived six and a half years, half the length of the life of the original sheep. Sadly the same arbitrary fate affected other species, such as cloned mice. The questions that concerned all scientists were: Would this be a major difficulty for all cloned animals? Would it happen forever? Could it be solved if corrections were made in their research procedure? On the other hand, Dolly39。第一,園藝師一直用它生產(chǎn)大量的供商用的植物;第二,它在對新植物物種的研究以及對動(dòng)物的醫(yī)學(xué)研究方面都是很有價(jià)值的。該細(xì)胞核應(yīng)包含生產(chǎn)一頭新羊所需要的全部基因。接著傳來了多莉病重的壞消息。各國政府惶恐不安而且更加謹(jǐn)慎,有些政府開始改革司法制度,明令禁止進(jìn)行克隆人類的研究。類似這樣的電影很受歡迎,證明了這一想法使人們感到既興奮又恐懼。經(jīng)過克隆的動(dòng)物群體的最大缺點(diǎn)是:它們的基因排列有可能完全相同,因而它們有可能會(huì)死于同一種疾病,這樣它們也可能一個(gè)也留不下來傳種接代了。inventionss a matter of waiting and hoping.
