Because we have inherited genes from our parents.
2. What are genes?
Definition:
The DNA segments carrying genetic information are called genes.
The scientific study of genes is called genetics.
DNA is a nucleic acid containing the genetic information.
It is in the shape of a transparent twisting ladder.Stem cells are flexible cells that can develop into every other type of cell in the body. Cloning and DNAFast-reading
How many parts can the passage be divided into?
What’s the main idea of each part?
(Para 1 to 2 ) the discovery of the structure of DNA and the further study into it.
(Para 3) how to clone something

Para 1-3
1. Use information from the text to define the three terms: DNA, enzyme, clone.
2. What are the scientists' achievements?
Watson and Crick
Mendel
Cohen and BoyerPara 1-2
1. Define the terms: DNA, clone,enzyme.
DNA is a transparent twisting ladder made of fundamental components of life.
A clone is an organism which is genetically identical to another one.
Enzymes are chemicals formed in the body.

Finally, … What are the advantages and disadvantages of cloning? The advantages of cloning. It is an optional treatment for couples who find it difficult to have children.It can help reproduce the talents of exceptional people.It can help obtain a supply of stem cells.It can help farmers raise resistant crops or animalsThe disadvantages of cloning. A clone would be under unknown psychological pressure.A clone may possess new vices instead of existing virtuesEmbryos made from clones would be wasted which some people would find unacceptableTo rely on a few cloned animals or crops would restrict biodiversity. beneficial helping coupleidentical family society extinctbecoming get ill young wrongagainstthings products copiesPost-reading

基本成分
resist doing sthrely onsuspect sb.of (doing) sth.as follows at a crime scenefundamental component 1.Cohen and Boyer discovered a procedure to use enzymes---chemicals formed in the body --- to unzip the DNA, to cut out a sequence of genes, and finally to insert them into the host cell and combine with its DNA.Cohen 和Boyer发现了利用体内化学酶的程序——解开DNA,截取一定顺序的基因,然后把他们植入干细胞并与它的DNA结合起来。 2.But an Einstein clone might choose a path in life which is contradictory to the one the original Einstein chose. 但是 Einstein的克隆体可能会选择一条 和 原版Einstein 截然相反的生活道路。3.A fourth reason for cloning is that some scientists and farmers think it would be handy to clone, for example, a prize cow which can resist bacteria or disease, or to sow a cloned crop which can resist rot or pests.克隆的第四个原因就是:有些科学家和农民认为克隆很方便。例如:克隆能够抵御细菌和疾病的优质奶牛,或者种植能抵抗枯病和虫害的克隆庄稼。AssignmentRead the article aloud;
Write a passage to give your opinion about whether you are for cloning or against it and give reasons and conclusion.
