Cloning History


Cumulina was a mouse who was a clone. She was made on October third of the the year 1997. After this success, the scientists continued to clone the mouse that Cumulina came from. At the end of 1998 fifty mice had been made. In the end three generations of mice all relatively the same were born. The Honolulu Technique rate of the success was 1 in 50 tries. This was much better than the rate of the Roslin Institute, which was 1 success in 277

In the year 1986 two teams, (one working in England, the other team working in America,) cloned the first mammals. The team in England cloned a sheep, and the team in America cloned a cow. These successful clones led to a large increase of cloning technology. At times cloning can be awsome!!
