The world's first body cell cloning Arctic wolf welcomes a hundred days, bringing new ways to protect endangered animals

Science Fiction Network, September 20 (Qin Yingying) On September 19, the world's first body cell cloned Arctic wolf ushered in its own "hundred -day banquet". After a hundred days of careful care by the conservation personnel, it has obvious body characteristics and good health.

It is understood that the Arctic Wolf was a survivor during the Ice Arama period 300,000 years ago. It has the ability to survive in the extremely cold snow area. It is full of wildlife and is a lightning hunter in the "silver light shirt". But its living space is constantly suffering. The main natural enemy of the Arctic Wolf is human, and it is facing an endangered situation. The main threat is the poacher. At least 200 Arctic wolves are killed each year. The Arctic Wolf is included in the Red List of Endangered Species of the World Nature Protection (IUCN).

Calleng can often be seen in science fiction films, and we can't help but imagine what will it look like if there is another ourselves in this world. In the real world, we have seen animal cloning technology in textbooks, and classic case cloned sheep Dolly. It was the first successful clone mammal in the world.

Calls refer to the non -propagation of organisms through body cells, and offspring formed by asexual reproduction. It is usually individuals or species that use biotechnology to generate exactly the same genes from the original individual from the non -sexual reproduction.

The cloning is the transliteration of the English "Clone" or "Cloning", and the English "Clone" originated from the Greek "Klone". The original meaning refers to the cultivation of plants with a seedlings or tender branches, such as asexual breeding or nutritional reproduction, such as Cuttings and grafting. Translated as "asexual breeding", "copying", "transit" or "group colonization". Chinese also has more accurate words to express clones, "non -sexual breeding", "non -sexualization" and "pureization".

Experts say that endangered species have disappeared somewhere or after all of them disappear, and the cells preserved by technology such as frozen technologies are used for clone to generate new life forms, which is an important way to bring back and save many species. Calone technology provides a good entry point for the protection of endangered wildlife, which has contributed to the protection of biodiversity.
