GCSE Biology Topic 6: Cloning
In this GCSE Biology Topic 6: Cloning lesson, students will list some examples of natural clones, describe how to clone plants using tissue culture or cuttings, describe adult cell cloning and artificial twinning and discuss the ethical issues around cloning. The slides include extension questions, and students can choose from a variety of different tasks.
This lesson includes:
