Which of the following is a benefit of therapeutic cloning?Stem cells from an embryo can differentiate into many different types of cell.The drugs taken before egg donation can have serious side effects.Therapeutic cloning requires the creation and then the destruction of an embryo that could develop into a human if allowed.Any produced tissues or organs are very unlikely to be rejected by the patient.

Solution

The benefit of therapeutic cloning from the options provided is that "Stem cells from an embryo can differentiate into many different types of cell." This is beneficial because these cells can be used to regenerate damaged tissues or organs in the patient's body. Additionally, "Any produced tissues or organs are very unlikely to be rejected by the patient." This is because the tissues or organs have been cloned from the patient's own cells, so the body recognizes them as 'self' and does not mount an immune response against them.

Which of the following is a problem with therapeutic cloning?There is a shortage of donated egg cells.Growing organs from stem cells would reduce the waiting time for organ transplants.There is a high chance the tissue or organ transplant would be rejected by the patient.Stem cells from an embryo can differentiate into many different types of cell.

Therapeutic cloning cannot be used to treat genetic diseases.Explain why.They will not cure the disease.The stem cells will have the same disease.They can be used to cure the disease.The stem cells will contain the same faulty gene.
