Clone is a transliteration of the English word "clone", which is generally translated as copy or transfer in Taiwan Province Province, Hongkong and Macau. It is a process of using biotechnology to produce offspring with the same genetic organization as the original individual through asexual reproduction. Scientists call the process of artificial gene manipulating animal reproduction cloning. This biotechnology is called cloning technology, which means asexual reproduction. Cloning technology is called "biomagnification technology" in modern biology.
II. Supplementary Notes on Cloning Technology:
Cloning technology is a pure cell line formed by the division and reproduction of the same ancestor cells, and the genes of each cell in this cell line are the same as each other.
Cloning English "clone" comes from the Greek "kl! N "(twig). 1963, J.B.S Haldane adopted the word "cloning" in a lecture with the theme of "the biological possibility of human beings in the next 20,000 years". In horticulture, the word "clone" was used until the 20th century. Later, sometimes "e" is added to the end of the word to become "clone" to show that the pronunciation of "o" is a long vowel. Recently, with the widespread use of this concept and word in public life, spelling has been limited to the use of "cloning". The Chinese translation of this word in Chinese mainland is "cloning", but it is often translated as "transferring" or "copying" in Hong Kong and Taiwan. The former "clone" is like the transliteration "copy" of copy, which has the disadvantage of not looking at the meaning of the text; The latter "copy" can roughly express the meaning of cloning, but it is inaccurate and easy to misunderstand.
