21、n they successfully cloned a sheep.Our bodies are made up of cells which have information to go about their work in the form of DNA. This is called the genetic code. Every organism gets half of this information from the father and the other half from the mother.We all have grown from a single cell c
22、alled the egg cell. It divides millions of times to give rise to the millions of cells which form our body. And each cell has a copy of all the genetic information needed by the body. This means that each cell of our body has enough information to create other human beings like us. All we need is an
23、 egg cell. In the process of cloning, the scientists take the DNA from an animal cell and implant it into an egg cell taken from another animal. Before they implant it, the DNA of the recipient (受方) cell is removed.This is how Dollys life began from a single cell taken from the udder of her mother.
24、The DNA in her mothers cell was removed and transferred into the egg cell of another sheep. Five months later, Dolly was born and then was a healthy lamb, a clone of her mother (from whom her DNA was taken) and without a biological father.It is technologically possible to clone humans as well.

37、doing？ Yours truly，Li Hua参考范文：Dear Tony，How are you doing? Recently I have attended a lecture on cloning given by Professor Zhang, who has been researching cloning technology for decades. Here Id like to share something about the lecture with you.Through this lecture, I have learned what the cloning
38、 technology is, and I have understood the significance of it if we can make the most of it. Although cloning can benefit people greatly, especially those suffering from incurable diseases, many countries disagree with human cloning. There are also relevant laws against human cloning.As far as Im concerned, we should take full advantage of the new technology to serve us, but I strongly object to illegal cloning activities. What s your opinion?Yours truly，Li Hua
