Another process of cloning is the
artificial embryo twinning. This process is similar to the natural process of
creating identical twins. For the
process of identical twins, the zygote will divide into a two-cell embryo thus,
the two cells will separate. Each cell will continue to divide on its own,
developing two individuals within the mother. As the two cells came from the
same zygote, it resulted in the two individuals being genetically identical.
Artificial Embryo Twinning has the same concept as this natural process.
However, it occurs in a Petri dish instead of the mother’s womb. This is done
by manually separating an embryo into two individual cells, allowing each cell
to divide and develops on its own. These embryos are then placed into a
surrogate mother, where they are going to be developed and delivered. Since the
embryos came from the same zygote, it resulted the babies to be genetically
identical.
