7、都会影响子代的基因构成。1973年,生物化学家科恩和博耶发现了如下步骤:利用人体内形成的化学物质酶解旋DNA,截取一定顺序的基因片断,最后把它们植入宿主细胞,使之与其DNA结合。克隆是从一个单细胞中提取DNA来创造出一个全新的个体。克隆体从遗传角度而言是与另一个生物个体完全相同的有机体。但是现在确定的是由于在经历和养育方面的差异,没有任何一个克隆体是完全的复制物。至少有两组科学家正在试图克隆人类。尽管存在争议,这样做也有很多正当的理由。一位意大利医生想把克隆作为难以怀孕的夫妇的一种选择性治疗方案。然而来自父母中任何一方的克隆人都会在他们的整个童年生活中处在一种未知的心理压力下。另一个原因是复制
8、非凡的人的天资。但是克隆出来的爱因斯坦或许会选择一条与“原版”爱因斯坦截然相反的生活道路。他甚至会有新的缺点而不是已有的优点!更深层的原因是获得大量的干细胞。胚胎里的干细胞很容易适应,可能会发展成为体内任何其他类型的细胞。例如,它可以帮助人们从疾病中恢复,修复人体组织,或帮他们在事故后重新行走。这些干细胞会需要来自某个人的克隆体的胚胎。然后这个胚胎就没用了,这是许多人都无法接受的。很明显,在科学家中一些不成文的职业规范必须获准。否则,强制性的政府条例必须控制克隆。进行克隆的第四个原因是,有些科学家和农场主认为,克隆非常方便实惠,比如:克隆能够抵御细菌或疾病的优质奶牛,种植能够抵抗枯病或虫害的克
9、隆作物。但是仅仅依赖少数几种克隆动植物会限制生物品种的多样性。最后,对DNA的最新研究有助于通过分析嫌疑犯遗留在犯罪现场的唾液或指甲缝里的污物来解决犯罪问题。译文助读侏罗纪公园科学事实还是好莱坞科幻片?继两位恐龙专家艾伦和埃利萨特勒博士应古怪的百万富翁约翰哈蒙德之邀,参观了他位于哥斯达黎加外岛屿上的尚未对公众开放的新的游乐场之后,史蒂文斯皮尔博格成功地拍摄了科幻历险片。通过克隆从史前的蚊子身上提取的DNA,哈蒙德为他的新侏罗纪公园创造出了活恐龙。在哈蒙德的两个孙子的陪伴下,他们被送到电脑控制的车中进行环绕侏罗纪公园的旅行。但是一场热带风暴袭击了岛屿,摧毁了电力供应,并且一个雇员破坏了安全系统以
10、便偷出恐龙胚胎去卖。恐龙开始摆脱控制这样看来,既然可以克隆羊,那有可能克隆恐龙吗?还是这只是好莱坞科幻片?首先,任何取自被保存的蚊子的DNA只有4千万年之久。恐龙至少是6千万年前的,所以,即使发现任何DNA,蚊子也需要年代更久远些,而据我们所知,年代那么久远的蚊子是不存在的。其次,即使可能找到被保存的蚊子,但仅仅发现了一只雄性蚊子。事实上,只有雌性蚊子才能吸取另一种生物的DNA。而且,也无法知道这DNA是否来自于恐龙。既然没有以前发现的恐龙,也就无法与新的样本进行比较。第三,在灭绝了这么久之后,恐龙的DNA不会完好无损。生命结束后,DNA分解且无法自我修复。在克隆恐龙上也产生了许多问题。一些问
11、题是:将一个小恐龙成功地养大需要做些什么?恐龙存活需要什么样的条件?恐龙吃些什么?恐龙在成年生活中需要什么样的照顾?该做些什么去保护人类免受恐龙的伤害或保护恐龙未受人类的伤害?克隆会带来什么样的道德和人权问题?因此,克隆恐龙从科学上说似乎是不可能的。世界对此毫无准备,而且所需的物质原料也无法获得。即使真有可能让恐龙复活,它们也不一定能在目前的环境中存活。现在的温度、空气、疾病和植物也与恐龙时代的全然不同。恐龙习惯了一个完全不同的世界,并且会发现很难在这里活下来。今天,恐龙能生存的唯一地方似乎只有好莱坞。课文理解Step Fast reading (教材P67)Match the Paras.
