cloning is a bigger reality than we are aware (2)
Cloning began back in 1885. A guy named Hans Dreisch separated cells from two-celled sea urchin blastomers mechanically. Each cell grew independently and formed a separate, whole sea urchin clone. This was the first cloning of animals.
In 1952 Robert Briggs and Thomas King used nuclear transfer technology to clone frogs from adult donor cells.
In 1963, Tong Dizhou created the first cloned fish, the Asian carp. Then in 1973, Dizhou inserted Asian carp DNA into a European crucian carp and created the very first interspecies clone.
In 1984, Steen Willadsen cloned a sheep via nuclear transfer technology. In his procedure, he used cells from early embryos. Nuclear transfer was later used by Ian Wilmut to produce Dolly the sheep. Dolly was the first mammal cloned from a cell of an adult animal.
