Difference Between a Test Tube and Cloned Baby
A test tube baby is when an egg is removed from a woman and sperm from and man, and the egg is fertilized outside that mother's body, i.e. in a test-tube. Cloning may be carried out in a test tube, but it is the copying or duplicating of cells. If something is cloned, there will be two of them and they will be genetically identical.
Here are more opinions and answers from WikiAnswers contributors:
- It is more often done in a petri dish for both, just so you can know.
- In cloning, there is no sperm cell used in the process. The scientists remove the nuclues of the egg cell and and fertilize it with another nucleus from a growing cell, such as a liver cell. This fusion allows an exact DNA duplicate of the mother organism. A clone does not come out fully-grown like in the science fiction movies. It has to go through the same life stages as the original organism it was copied from. The egg and donor cell are usually taken from the same organisim. This allows for an exact copy.
