somatic cell nuclear transfer. Artificial embryo twinning is when the sperm cell is split in two inside of a petri dish creating two individual sperm (What). When placed in a surrogate mother, the two sperm cells develop into two identical organisms (What). Somatic cell nuclear transfer is when a somatic cell is isolated from an adult female organism, and then the nucleus and all of its DNA is removed from an egg cell (What). That DNA and nucleus is replaced by the nucleus from the somatic cell (What)

Stem cells are cells that can recreate into any type of cell and can cure diseases and reproduce rapidly. Stem cells are a huge help in the scientific world but the reason why we don’t use them often is because they are hard to get. Stem cells can change into any different kind of cell that they want to. For example, if someone needs brain cells, they will stick the stem cells into the brain and the stem cells will turn into brain cells. Stem cells are a very big assist to help cure diseases. Stem

through the use of stem cells. The pros of stem cell research outweigh the cons. So what exactly is a stem cell? A stem cell is a very versatile cell that has the remarkable ability to grow into almost any kind of cell that your body would need. Stem cells are able to effectively replace damaged cells in the body. Stem cells function as an internal repair system, dividing and multiplying without limit to replace other cells in the body while it is still alive. When a stem cell divides and replicates
