1. Ian Wilmut's Creation of Dolly was such an amazing accomplishment because:

Dolly was the world's first clone.
Dolly was the first clone created from adult cells.
Dolly was the first mammal to be cloned.

2. The most immediate application of cloning techniques will be in the creation of:

Genetically enhanced livestock. (transgenic animals)
Human clones
Organs for transplant into humans.

3. Cloning a human being is illegal in the United States.

True
False

4. The first cloning experiment involved which type of animal:

Sheep
Tadpoles
Cattle

5. The scientist whose 1997 announcement that he intended to clone a human sparked a large scale cloning debate and calls for anti-cloning legislation was:

Steen Wiladsen
Ian Wilmut
Richard Seed

6. Using current techniques, cloning a deceased organism is impossible.

True
False

7. In short, how do scientists currently create genetically identical clones?

The genetic information of an egg cell (which will grow to be a clone) is replaced with that of a donor cell obtained from an existing organism.
A growing embryo is divided into two parts, and each resulting part grows into an organism.
A cell from an existing organism is altered and cultivated in a lab, then allowed to grow into an embryo.

8. Scientists have tried to clone animals genetically altered to contain human genes. To this point, such alterations to animals have been attempts to get the animals to produce.

Human organs for use in transplants
Human tissues
Human proteins

9. It is believed that a human clone would have the exact same appearance, personality, and emotions as the individual he or she was cloned from.

True
False

10. The greatest argument against the legal regulation of human cloning is:

It is a couple's constitutional right to create offspring in any method they choose.
Such a ban may hamper possible life saving medical advances resulting from cloning research.
Cloning may be the only way for infertile couples to produce their own offspring.
