Procedures

▇Warming up by looking and saying

Hello, class. Look at this photo. What is it? Wang Lin, could you tell the class something about this photo? It is the photo of Dolly the sheep (1996-2003). Dolly the sheep became a scientific sensation when her birth was announced in 1997. Her relatively early death in February 2003 fuels the debate about the ethics of cloning research and the long-term health of clones. What is it about Dolly that is so special? How was she created? And did she die young because she was a clone?

That is what we are going to learn this week. Cloning! This is the topic this week! What is “Cloning”?

A clone is an animal or plant produced naturally or artificially from the cells of another animal or plant and is exactly the same as it. Cloning is a way of making an exact copy of another animal or plant. The clone has the same DNA as the parent.

"I wish I had not done this terrible thing, I wish I was dead!”
