To The Question of the Cloninig History

Abstract

Cloning in biology - cloning in biology is getting both asexually by natural means, including vegetative reproduction, and by means of biotechnological methods genetically identical organisms, cells or molecules. In the XXI century, in the conditions of the impetuous growth of the population and the food problem aggravation, humanity faces a growing and more demanding challenge of creating the necessary quantity of living organisms-plants and animals, with pre-defined properties: resistant to disease, climate fluctuations, high productivity, fertility, desired flavoring, aromatic, nourishing, and other characteristics. The rapid development of molecular biology has led to the formation of a principally new direction in biotechnology - genetic and cell engineering. The use of cloning techniques can significantly reduce the time of obtaining fundamentally new properties of breeding varieties of agricultural plants and breeds of animals and strains of microorganisms. Bioengineering gives a chance to cure disease, considered dozens of still incurable, including cancer and aging, opens new horizons in the field of regenerative biomedicine-cloning of human organs and tissues.
