Which of the following problems with animal cloning might result in premature death of the clones?
A) use of pluripotent instead of totipotent stem cells
B) use of nuclear DNA as well as mtDNA
C) abnormal regulation due to variant methylation
D) the indefinite replication of totipotent stem cells
E) abnormal immune function due to bone marrow dysfunction

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Abnormal regulation due to variant methylation can cause developmental abnormalities and premature death in animal clones. Methylation is an epigenetic modification that plays a crucial role in regulating gene expression during development. Abnormal methylation patterns in cloned animals can lead to incorrect regulation of genes, resulting in developmental abnormalities and health problems.
