5.17B Micropropagation process
Describe the process of micropropagation (tissue culture) in which explants are grown in vitro.
5.18B Commercial micropropagation
Understand how micropropagation can be used to produce commercial quantities of genetically identical plants with desirable characteristics.
5.19B Cloned mammals
Describe the stages in the production of cloned mammals involving the introduction of a diploid nucleus from a mature cell into an enucleated egg cell, illustrated by Dolly the sheep.
5.20B Uses of cloned transgenic animals
Understand how cloned transgenic animals can be used to produce human proteins.
