Which of the following is a disadvantage of therapeutic cloning?An organ that is an exact match to the patient could be created in a lab.There is a high chance the tissue or organ transplant would be rejected by the patient.The drugs taken before egg donation can have serious side effects.Stem cells from an embryo can differentiate into many different types of cell.

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.

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.

The diagram below shows how a new cell that is genetically identical to to the patient is created for therapeutic cloning.The newly created cell is stimulated to divide and a blastocyst will form.Stem cells can be taken from the blastocyst and triggered to differentiate into any cells that are needed.Match the statements below to show whether they are a benefit or a problem with therapeutic cloning.ProblemBenefitPossible AnswersTransplanted tissues are likely to be rejected by the patient.Growing organs from stem cells of an embryonic clone of the patient would reduce the waiting time for organ transplants.It is a much easier process than bone marrow donation.Therapeutic cloning requires the creation and then destruction of an embryo that could develop into a human if allowed.I DON'T KNOWRESETSUBMIT ANSWER

The diagram below shows how a new cell that is genetically identical to the patient is created for therapeutic cloning. An ovum is another term for an egg cell.The newly created cell is stimulated to divide and the blastocyst will form.Stem cells can be taken from the blastocyst and triggered to differentiate into any cells that are needed.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.

Rejection happens when the recipient's immune system attacks the transplanted tissues as it recognises them as foreign invaders.Why is rejection not a concern with transplants from a therapeutic clone?The transplanted cells are sterile because they have come from a lab, this means they would not trigger the immune system of the patient.The transplanted cells are a closer match to the patients own cells, which reduces the likelihood of rejection.The patient has been treated with medication to lower their immune system, this prevents immune rejection of the new cells.The transplanted cells are genetically identical to the patient, so they are the patient's cells and the immune system would not attack them as invaders.
