Cloning  

FIRST cloned mammal: Dolly

 

   Most significant events in the history of cloning

  • August Weismann proposed that the genetic information of a cell will be diminishing for each division cycle.

  • Hans Spemann (1901) proved that the embryonic cells will retain the genetic information necessary to develop into a new organism.

  • Walter Sutton hypothesized that function of the chromosome is hold the genetic information.

  • F.E. Steward proved that cloning from differentiated cells was possible by growing a complete carrot plant from fully differentiated carrot cell.
