1.What are the advantages and disadvantages of cloning?
2.Not only animals but also plants can be cloned. Do you know the difference between them?
Please read the following passage to get the answer.
A new study of plants that are
2、reproduced by cloning has shown why cloned plants are not identical.
Scientists have known for some time that cloned organisms are not always identical: their observable characteristics and traits can vary, and this variation can be passed on to the next generation. This is despite the fact that th
3、ey are derived (獲得) from genetically identical founder cells.
Now, a team from Oxford University, the UK, and King Abdullah University of Science and Technology, Saudi Arabia, believe they have found out why this is the case in plants: the genomes (染色體) of regenerate plants carry relatively high fr
4、equencies of new DNA sequence mutations (變異) that were not present in the genome of the donor plant.
The team reported their findings in this week’s Current Biology.
“Where these new mutations actually come from is still a mystery,” said Professor Harberd. “They may arise during the regeneration p
5、rocess itself or during the cell divisions in the donor plant that gave rise to the root cells from which the regenerate plants are created. We are planning further research to find out which of these two processes is responsible for these mutations. What we can say is that nature has safely been em
6、ploying what you might call a ’cloning’process in plants for millions of years, and that there must be good evolutionary reasons why these mutations are introduced.”
The new results suggest that variation in clones of plants may have different underlying causes from those of variation in clones of
7、animals — where it is believed that the effect of environmental factors on how animal genes are expressed is more important and no similar high frequencies of mutations have been observed.
Professor Harberd said, “While our results highlight that cloned plants and animals are very different, they m
8、ay give us insights into how bacterial and cancer cells replicate themselves, and how mutations arise during these processes which, ultimately, have an impact on human health.”

Summary
Read the text carefully and fill in the blanks.
Cloning is a way of 1.making (make) an exact copy of another animal or plant.
18、 2.It has two major uses. One is 3.that gardeners use it to produce commercial quantities of plants. The 4.other is that it is valuable for research on new species and for medical research on animals. 5.However,_the process of cloning is difficult to undertake.
Many attempts to clone mammals failed
19、. The first successful clone, Dolly the sheep, made the whole 6.scientific (science) world follow its process, though it had 7.more problems than the normal sheep. On the other hand, Dolly’s 8.appearance (appear) raised a storm of objections and had a great impact 9.on the media and public imaginati
20、on. Different people have different opinions on it. However, scientists still wonder whether cloning will help 10.or harm us and where it is leading us.
