advantages and disadvantages of plants cloning?

It promotes homozygocity in the absence of linkage ,as in sexual reproduction,resulting in more susceptible plants for disease and less successful plants evolutionary.

We don't want to have human cloning. That has been made abundantly clear by numerous polls and elections.\n\nI doubt that you personnally know even a single person who wants human cloning.

The purpose of a question like this is for YOU to take what YOU know about cloning (and for YOU to do research about it) and then for YOU to extrapolate from what YOU know to what YOU think might happen.\n\nTry watching (or reading) The Island. Just one grim outlook of many about cloning.

The disadvantages is that something might go awry, your clone might commit a crime and the one being caught is you. The clone knows your secrets and might betray you, he knows your feelings and weaknesses and can overpower you. Human cloning also resembles the making of another person which is forbidden by some religions as only God can create lives, not men. If men clone, they are implying that they are omnipotent which they are not.

Micropropagation is the practice of rapidly multiplying stock plant material to produce a large number of progeny plants, using modern plant tissue culture methods.\n\nMicropropagation is used to multiply novel plants, such as those that have been genetically modified or bred through conventional plant breeding methods. It is also used to provide a sufficient number of plantlets for planting from a stock plant which does not produce seeds, or does not respond well to vegetative propagation.Micropropagation has a number of advantages over traditional plant propagation techniques:It produces disease-free plants.It produces rooted plantlets ready for growth, rather than seeds or cuttings.It has an extraordinarily high fecundity, producing thousands of propagules in the same time it would take a conventional technique to produce tens or hundreds. \nIt is the only viable method of regenerating genetically modified cells or cells after protoplast fusion. \nIt is a good way of multiplying plants which produce seeds in uneconomical amounts (if at all). \nMicropropagation often produces more robust plants, leading to accelerated growth compared to similar plants produced by conventional methods.

1)Cloning isn’t very successful. Currently scientists have to attempt to produce hundreds of clones just to get one success. The rest of the clones either resulting a spontaneous abortion or else are deformed deformed and die or are euthanased shortly after birth. Obviously we can’t ethically apply such a technique to human babies, even if we could find women willing to carry children with a high probability of miscarriage or being born deformed.\n\n2)It’s a worthless exercise. Genetics is only a small part of  what makes someone intelligent. Environmental effects such as diet, childhood stimulation, education and upbringing are far more important.  Even if we could clone Einstein we almost certainly wouldn’t end up with anyone of any great ability.\n\n3)It’s ethically and legally impossible. Einstein gave consent for organ harvesting, he never gave consent to being cloned. You simply can’t do this legally, which means it could only possibly be achieved by a Mad Doctor, possibly using a lightning rod. Possibly working a a castle on a high peak in Transylvania. Necessarily with an assistant named Igor.\n\n4)It’s physically impossible, at least with modern technology. Cloning requires live cells. Al has been dead for some time. Even if technology reaches appoint where we can clone animals form dead cells we still won’t be able to use remains that have been pickled in formaldehyde like Al because formaldehyde destroys DNA. Maybe in another 50 years or so we will have the technology tot allow use to reconstitute shattered DNA, but not today.

are you asking about DNA extraction or plant (apple tree) cross-breeding?

Transgenic plants are plants that possess a gene or genes that have been transfered from a different species. Such modification may be performed through ordinary hybridization through cross-pollination of plants, but the term today refers to plants produced in a laboratory using recombinant DNA technology in order to create plants with specific characteristics by artificial insertion of genes from other species, and sometimes entirely different kingdoms. See also Genetics, List of genetic engineering topics.\n\nPrior to the current era of molecular genetics starting around 1975, transgenic plants including cereal crops were (since the mid 1930s) part of conventional plant breeding.\n\nTransgenic varieties are frequently created by classical breeders who deliberately force hybridization between distinct plant species when carrying out interspecific or intergeneric wide crosses with the intention of developing disease resistant crop varieties. Classical plant breeder may use use of a number of in vitro techniques such as protoplast fusion, embryo rescue or mutagenisis to generate diversity and produce plants that would not exist in nature.\n\nSuch traditional techniques (used since about 1930 on) have never been controversial, or been given wide publicity except among professional biologists, and have allowed crop breeders to develop varieties of basic food crop, wheat in particular, which resist devastating plant diseases such as rusts. Hope is one such transgenic wheat variety bred by E. S. McFadden with a transgene from a wild grass. Hope saved American wheat growers from devastating stem rust outbreaks in the 1930s.

Transgenesis is an efficient way to add target genes that provide specific traits to a plant that were not present in the original germline. the advantages are that you can create crops that are more drought resistant, require less use of pesticides, produce a higher yield, include more nutrients, etc. The disadvatange is that by creating a new "species" of plant, you don't know if that plant will interact poorly with the environment or with people or other animals that consume it. It is interesting to note, however, that intentional genetic manipultion of plant species by humans has been underway since the dawn of agriculture, albeit by the slower means of selective breeding. New technologies are frequently intimdating, but they are usually not much worse than what is going on before and sometimes are much better for all involved.

There is more than one way to grow fruits. Have you ever heard of cloning? It is actually possible to clone a plant by taking cuttings from pre-existing plants. There are all kinds of techniques for cloning plants. So, all they have to do is genetically modify one single seed to grow into a seedless plant, then they clone that plant over and over again.

Clone\n\nThe term "clone" is rooted in the Greek word "klon," meaning twig or shoot. The concept of cloning gained a foothold in the world of gardening where a twig or shoot could be used to create an identical plant in entirety.

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.

I think you could only if you integrated the necessary necromantic rituals into the cloning process.  You could clone the tissue, but it would grow as a living creature.  You'd then have to euthanize it and then raise it from the dead.

Cloning is a method of development of an new organisms with a single parental cells as it contain the same number of genome. It is type of asexual reproduction by means of which the offspring is produced as an identical copies of the parents because here only one parent either male or female is involved out . According to modern technology it may be called as tissue culture mechanisms.

you could do something like, the effects of pollutants on soil, then to show your experiment try growing plants in different types of soil, have one with normal soil, your control, then others with different pollutants, oil, chemicals, garbage\nHopefully this could help

Some plants reproduce vegetatively.  This means they send out runners or "pups" which will grow into new plants.  Other plants will have parts such as leaves or stems which, if they fall off the mother plant, will produce adventitious roots and grow into a new plant.  The drawback to this vegetative reproduction is that it is the same as cloning and it does not result in any genetic diversity (in some specialized niches this may be an advantage).
