The first cloned cat, called Carbon Copy, was a calico, but she looked significantly different from her female parent. Why was this the case with this clone? a. The cloning was done poorly and it was likely that some contaminating cat DNA became part of Carbon Copy's genome. b. Fur color genes in cats is determined by differential acetylation patterns. c. Cloned animals have been found to have a higher frequency of transposon activation. d. X chromosome inactivation in the embryo is random and produces different patterns.

Respuesta :

Calico was different from her female parent because X inactivation is random and produces different patterns. So the correct option is D.

What does cloning mean in animals?

Cloning is a scientific technique scientists used for making the exact genetic copies of living things. Cloning can be used for making copies of genes, cells, tissues, and even whole animals.

There are two ways of cloning animals. These are

  1. Embryo twinning - An embryo is split in half. The halves are then placed in the uterus of the mother. Each half of the split embryo will develop into a new animal,
  2. Somatic cell nuclear transfer - DNA from a somatic cell of an animal is transferred into an egg cell that has had its nucleus removed.

Therefore the correct option is D.
