Question

Which of the following cell technology was made possible by the development of micromanipulation tools?

A) antibody production
B) viral vaccine production
C) skin and tissue grafting
D) reproductive cloning

Answer 1

Correct answer: D) reproductive cloning

The cell technology that was possible by the micromanipulation tools is reproductive cloning. It is a form of artificial reproduction that uses the cloning technique.

It involves creating an animal that is genetically similar to a donor animal by the somatic cell nuclear transfer technique. In this cloning, the newly produced embryo is put back into the uterus where it can implant and develop further. There are two types of reproductive cloning by cleavage and cloning by the transfer of a cell nucleus into an enucleated ovum.

Hence, the correct answer would be option D.

Answer 2

The correct answer is D. Micromanipulation allows interaction with precision. This is done under a microscope. With micromanipulation, in-vitro fertilization has come true, and is helping thousands of parents to become parents.
