Cloning DNA cloning has given major insights into understanding the genetic makeup of an organism. The cloning process will allow the alteration of DNA to better the organism in ways like nutritional value or resistance to diseases. DNA cloning has opened new doors to the studies of genetics. In order to clone DNA, there is a specific method in which selective amplifying is required of DNA sequences, which would in turn generate homogenous DNA populations (Strachan & Read, Chapter Chapter 4

Then they are used to begin to put together the final organism, some cells, for example, as the eyes, some as the heart, etc. The only arguable exception to this is viruses. They are not composed of cells, but are said to be "living." Theme#2 - Organization Complex organization patterns are found in all living organisms. They arrange themselves on very small levels, grouping like things together. On larger levels,
