- Reproductive cloning commonly uses Somatic Cell Nuclear Transfer (SCNT). - Somatic cells are all body cells except sperm and egg. - In reproductive cloning, the embryo is implanted into a surrogate mother's uterus. - The cloned individual is genetically derived primarily from one somatic cell donor.
Which of the following statements are correct regarding Cloning? 1. Human Cloning is performed by the Somatic cell 2. A somatic cell means, any cell of the body except sperm and egg 3. In reproductive cloning, the newly created embryo will be placed in a test tube 4. In case of cloning the child is born of a single parent and carries his/her DNA

- Consider the following techniques/ phenomena: 1. Budding and grafting in fruit plants 2. Cytoplasmic male sterility 3. Gene silencing Which of the above is/are used to create transgenic crops?
- Budding and grafting in fruit plants: These are methods of asexual (vegetative) propagation used to combine traits from different plants or propagate desired varieties. They do not involve introducing foreign genes to create a transgenic organism. This is not used to create transgenic crops. 2. Cytoplasmic male sterility: While CMS itself is a biological phenomenon used in hybrid breeding, genetic engineering techniques can be used to introduce or restore male sterility genes (like the barnase/barstar system), thereby creating transgenic plants with engineered CMS. In this context, the concept is linked to the creation of transgenics for breeding purposes. 3. Gene silencing: Techniques like RNA interference (RNAi) are methods of gene silencing where the expression of a specific gene is inhibited.
