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.

Graft rejection is caused by A. B-cell response B. T-cell response

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.

Graft transplantation to save certain patients fails due to the rejection of such organs by the patient. Which type of immune response is responsible for such type of rejection?

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.
