You are the owner of Jurassic Park, and you want to set about populating your park with extinct animals. The first animal you want to have in your park is a wooly mammoth, and you have a remarkably well-preserved specimen that was frozen in the Arctic

ice 20,000 years ago. Design a method for populating your park with many living wooly mammoths.

What will be an ideal response?


Using reproductive-cloning techniques, cells from the wooly mammoth could be used to produce clones of the animal. A somatic cell from the mammoth would be combined with an enucleated egg of a related species such as an elephant. The fused cells could then be implanted into a surrogate mother elephant, which would give birth to cloned mammoths.
