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). This creates a freshly fertilized egg which develops

water to reproduce. General characteristics of this group include: a waxy cuticle to slow down water loss and gametangia that protect developing gametes. The male gamatangium is called the antheridium which produces flagellated sperm. The female archegonium produces a single egg. Bryophytes need water to reproduce. They do not contain any vascular tissue for up right support. These plants usually form mats of horizontally growing tissue. The plant grips the ground with elongated cells called rhizoids

What Is Selenium? Selenium (Se) is a trace mineral that is required by the human body and is of fundamental importance in ensuring good health. Selenium was discovered in 1817 by Jons Berzelius and takes its name from the Greek word Selene (the goddess of the moon). Until recently, selenium was a little-known trace mineral. International research on Selenium has established that it is an essential component of the human diet in the sustaining of good health and general well-being because of its

the sperm penetrates into the egg which is found in the ovary of a women, once this occurs the egg is dropped, and the egg starts to develop. A fertile women usually produces one egg cell each month, roughly two weeks after the last menstrual cycle. The cell travels from the ovary along the fallopian tube towards the uterus. If sexual intercourse has been taken place while the egg is in the fallopian tube there can be a possibility of conception. Just one sperm can fertilise the egg. Many eggs are

Thomas 1 There are 16,928 species listed as endangered and 905 listed as extinct in the International Union for Conservation of Nature’s Red List criteria (Tobin, 2010). Many ways have been discussed on how to prevent these endangered species from adding to that list of 905, but most have failed. The most basic and probably most efficient way to end extinction of species would be to stop invading their habitats. However, that won’t happen. So, scientists have dug deeper into biology and are

have released an egg, this is then drawn down the fallopian tube towards the uterus. This usually occurs halfway through the menstrual cycle.
