HUMAN GENOME •What’s this?

•What do you know about the human genome?

•If you were a scientist and knew about the human genome, how would you use this knowledge?

•What do you know about cloning?

OBJECTIVES:  To improve oral communication and thinking skills.  To link knowledge and interest in science related to cloning with English skills.

 To discuss concepts and take a position about the use of cloning.

VOCABULARY



offspring:



children or young of a particular parent or progenitor.

VOCABULARY

Egg cell (oocyte /oh-uh-sahyt/)

The roundish reproductive body produced by the female of certain animals, as birds and most reptiles, consisting of an ovum and its envelope of albumen, jelly, membranes, egg case, or shell, according to species.

VOCABULARY

Sperm:

 a male reproductive cell; spermatozoon.

VOCABULARY

Asexual:

 having no sex or sexual organs.

VOCABULARY 

Embryo

The collection of cells that has developed from the fertilized egg of a vertebrate animal, before all the major organs have developed.

VOCABULARY 



Somatic:

of the body; bodily; physical.

VOCABULARY

Mitochondria:

an organelle in the cytoplasm of cells

that functions in energy production.

VOCABULARY  Therapeutic: of or relating to the treating or curing of disease; curative.  Misleading: guide wrongly.  Subsequent: happening or coming after something else  Stumbling: a problem or temporary failure when you are on the way to achieving something  Epigenetic: relating to, being, or involving changes in gene function that do not involve changes in DNA sequence  Genetic imprinting: epigenetic phenomenon by which certain genes are expressed in a parent-of-origin-specific manner.

SKIMMING

Let’s read the text. While reading try find the answer to these questions.

Please, underline, highlight or take notes.

Now, let’s answer. Try to use words from the text. Paraphrase.

READING TO GET KNOWLEDGE

1.What is cloning?

2. How does therapeutic cloning differ from reproductive cloning?

3. What is the process of human cloning?

4. Does cloning produce an exact genetic replica of the donor?

5. How do the harvested cells from a cloned embrio differ from those produced by sexual reproduction or in-vitro fertilization?

Re-representing

Now you are going to make a concept map about cloning (use the information in the text).

This concept map you just did, you are going to do it using bubble us or mindomo.  https://bubbl.us/  https://www.mindomo.com/es/

Using your map, you are going to summarize the ideas in the text. Determine what is important in the text.

FOLLOW UP:

Reflecting About Cloning  Do you agree or disagree with cloning? Why? Why not?  Do you think the implications of cloning in society are beneficial or harmful? Why? Why not?   Do you think experimenting on animal and human cells lead to benefits or harm? Why? Why not?  Do you agree that this procedure could be the key to to cure/heal terminal diseases, for example: cancer or Alzeihmer? Would you take it if you were having such diseases?  Do you agree with the use of this procedure to preserve endangered species?How beneficial would this procedure be to preserve 23

Different Groups

24

Do you agree or disagree with Hittler’s intention of cloning?

A

B

I agree with you 100 percent.

I couldn't agree with you more.

That's so true.

That's for sure. (slang) Tell me about it!

You're absolutely right.

Absolutely.

That's exactly how I feel.

Exactly.

I'm afraid I agree with James.

I have to side with Dad on this one.

No doubt about it. (agree with negative statement) Me neither. (weak) I suppose so./I guess so.

You have a point there.

I was just going to say that.

I don't think so. (strong) No way.

I'm afraid I disagree. (strong) I totally disagree.

I beg to differ. (strong) I'd say the exact opposite.

Not necessarily.

That's not always true.

That's not always the case.

No, I'm not so sure about that.
