[QUOTE="whitecow, post: 571226, member: 8638"] "I wonder if it is possible to clone a bull from semen that we previously purchased without a "clause" such as Star Lake's clause you presented earlier. What say you?" Unfortunately, it not yet possible to clone from frozen semen. The sperm cells are haploid (only one copy of each chromosome). Non-gamete cells have two copies of each chromosome. It is these diploid cells that are necessary for cloning. There usuaully are diploid somatic cells in semen but they are most often lysed or detroyed during the freezing process and are not useable for cloning purposes. [/QUOTE]
