What is the difference between cloning and artificial insemination?
Thank you for the explanation. Now I am thinking of mother surrogate and to be honest, there are so many questions and so few answers in this sphere. I have seen some companies which offer such services. However, they look really doubtful and it is really difficult to find a reliable clinic
Cloning involves the insertion of an embryo into a surrogate mother. In contrast, artificial insemination involves the insertion of semen extracted from a bull or male animal to impregnate a female animal of the same species rather than by natural physical act of mating. Artificial insemination increase the chances that the genetic traits contributed from the bull that had been considered desirable will be exhibited, in some measure, by the progeny. Even so, as it is a manipulation in the normal process of reproduction, an animal unique to the parents will be developed rather than identical as occurs in cloning.
