lol no\n\nit's still sexually made in terms of combining sperm from a man and egg from a woman. it produces identicle looking baby but will have completely different mind\n\nhttp://www.google.com/search?btnI=I%27m+Feeling+Lucky&q=wiki+cloning

Mitosis produces two cells which are genetically identical to the original one. There is no exchange of genes between two organisms, and so mitosis is a type of asexual reproduction.

Contrast:\n- Asexual reproduction is done with only one individual or cell in the process (called mitosis) and usually involves splitting or grafting of the original organism.\n- Sexual reproduction occurs when one cell fertilizes another (sperm and egg are the most common terms for it) and it usually results in a more stable gene pool because more chromosome combinations are possible.\n\nCompare:\n- They both involve reproduction at the cellular level.\n- They both involve some manner of genetics (either splitting or joining)\n- They both produce offspring.

Cloning seems like a bad idea.  There is the whole degradation of the genes thing and all of those ethical questions.  Besides if you have clones they have to be fed, clothed and sheltered.  What I want is a small platoon of robots.  I'll get them three jobs apiece and do whatever I want while I collect their pay checks.

They aren't asexual, they're hermaphrodites. They can fertilize themselves or slither along side a willing recipient and fertilize him/her. The young are born alive, very small.

dr d is correct.\n\nIt is transfer of genes within a generation, as compared to transfer from the parental generation to the offspring generation; that is vertical gene transfer between generations.\n\nIf genes are picked up from a cell in some way, and put into other cells (not involving cell division), then the genes have been transferred "horizontally".\n\nAn example is when a bacterium carrying a certain plasmid grows a "sex pilus", which then connects with the cell wall of a bacterium that does not carry that plasmid.  It will inject a copy of the plasmid, via the sex pilus, and the recipient has then become a carrier, too.  These plasmids often carry extra genes, as well as those coding for this ability.  These phenomena are sometimes considered to be similar to sex, but are really more like catching a virus!

DNA replication occurs when the cell needs to reproduce.  When the volume of the cell outgrows its surface area, a set of chemical signals are sent out notifying the DNA to begin replicating.  Asexual reproduction (fission) is the most common form of cell asexual reproduction.  Before sexual reproduction can occur you must first produce the gametes (sperm-eggs).  Here the DNA is replicated but then it is cut in half to produce the haploid gametes.  When the sperm and egg unite then the full complement of DNA returns.  This is not true in fission.

I scanned a diagram I have into the computer, I hope this helps:\n\nhttp://i74.photobucket.com/albums/i267/Miles_Tails_Prower__/Aminals007.jpg\n\nBy the way Crimedog, you are thinking of Mitosis.  Meiosis is for sexual reproduction while mitosis is the asexual reproduction of eukaryotic cells.  (yoo-ku-rO-tic - cells with membrane-bound organells)

Despite the previous answer, there is no reason to think parthengenesis is impossible in humans.  All it would take is a mistake in meisosis where the nucleus did not duplicate and separate and you would have an egg identical to the mother ready for implantation.\n\nThe difficulties that affect cloning would not be an issue.

Many people disagree; some on religious grounds (against God's will), some on ethical/moral (somehow cloning is unnatural).  given that clones have same DNA they would have same immune system and thus be vulnerable to diseases that others might resist because of variations.

Therapeutic cloning is another term applied somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT) in which the nucleus of an ovum is removed and replaced with the nucleus of an adult somatic cell donor, then allowed  to grow and mature as the genetic clone of the donor.  The idea behind is that if the donor should ever need an organ transplant, the organs can be harvested from the clone so that the donor will survive. The controversy is that we'd essentially be creating human life for the sole purpose of killing it in lieu of a medical emergency. Also, the first step of SCNT is the same as embryonic stem cell research and has drawn the opposition of those that oppose ESC research.

Think about the advantages of each reproductive mode. Asexual is easy, and fast, and the offspring are clones.\nSexual is more complex and the offspring get a combination of both parents' genome, as well as new variations that could have arisen during gamete production. Natural selection, which will influence these organisms heavily under changing conditions, acts upon these random variations.

I assume you mean cloning for the growth of an entire human being, not cloning for parts; i.e, heart, lungs, eyes, etc.\n\nWell, you know years ago people freaked out about so-called "test tube babies," saying it went against nature, god, and all sort of things.  People said it would be the end of male/female relationships.  They said it would make MEN obsolete.  They said many, many stupid things.  Here we are and in vitro fertilization is a common and valuable procedure for couples experiencing infertility problems.  \n\nI work in women's health.  I truly believe "Human Cloning" will simply be another choice for couples with infertility problems.  How nice would it be for a couple to be able to clone one of themselves in a situation where either the female has no eggs or the male has no sperm.  In these situations a couple can only have a child that is PARTLY a stranger's DNA.  That sometimes leaves one of the parents feeling left out.  Also, the conceived child has NO INFORMATION pertaining to the donor DNA.  \n\nI think it would be great.  It may also reduce the number of multiple gestations so common with in vitro, which has many, many complications.\n\nI also have to address another issue:  A cloned baby would be EXACTLY like a TWIN of the person being cloned.  Genetically, it is no different.  Nothing freaky about that.

asexual involves only one parent and the offspring are genetically identical to the parent.\n\nSexual in volves two people and is what humans do.

(m)\n\nIn biology, meiosis is the process that transforms one diploid cell into four haploid cells in eukaryotes in order to redistribute the diploid's cell's genome.\n\nMeiosis forms the basis of sexual reproduction and can only occur in eukaryotes. In meiosis, the diploid cell's genome, which is composed of ordered structures of coiled DNA called chromosomes, is replicated once and separated twice, producing four haploid cells each containing half of the original cell's chromosomes. These resultant haploid cells will fertilize with other haploid cells of the opposite gender to form a diploid cell again. The cyclical process of separation by meiosis and genetic recombination through fertilization is called the life cycle. The result is that the offspring produced during germination after meiosis will have a slightly different blueprint which has instructions for the cells to work, contained in the DNA. This allows sexual reproduction to occur.\n\nMeiosis uses many biochemical processes that are similar to those used in mitosis in order to distribute chromosomes among the resulting cells; however the outcome is very different.\n\ngoto the following link for details about meiosis\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meiosis

there are some efforts going on to bring mammoth to life by using its frozen sperm. with an african elephant. as far as cloning goes i dont have any idea.

asexual reporduction is when the organism simply makes a clone of itself. Sexual reproduction is when there is a joining of sperm and eggs (this can include hermaphrodites because though it is one organism, they have the joining of sperm and egg internally). Both of them have evolutionary value. I think this is a high school question, so your teacher is probably asking which is better at adapting to changing conditions. It is Sexual reporduction because it allows a greater diversity and therefore the species can survive a wider array of conditions. But the sexual reproduction takes a lot of investment to the organism.
