Imagine you are a member of a scientific committee that is working on writing a set of ethical standards for cloning research. What are some of the most important concerns you would want to have covered by those standards?

If you were a beef producer, how would you view the cloning of cattle that is now possible? List any resources you used to answer this question.

Here are some points you could use

1) Safety of the original clone  

2) Any chemicals used that could result in defects in the clone or original

3) Will clone contain chemicals that can affect the consumer of beef

4) Will clones be able to reproduce with other clones or non-clones and will that result in birth defects?

5) Exlusive technology not to be available to the public, only for research

6) Can this tech be used to clone humans for organs

Explanation:

genetic variation can be caused by mutation (which can create entirely new alleles in a population), random mating, random fertilization, and recombination between homologous chromosomes during meiosis (which reshuffles alleles within an organism's offspring).
