Is it possible to be able to clone an endangered species such as the thylacine if a piece of tissue is found?

Question

I meant extinct

Answer 1

The thylacine is extinct,not endangered.The last one was scene in the mid-1930's.The tissue,if found would have to be in a very good state of preservation to attempt cloning.I don't believe our cloning technology is that advanced yet.See here:

Answer 2

you can only clone something if there is a female of the species alive. The way things are cloned is that they take a cell from an animal take out the nucleus in some way shock or electrocute it then put it back in the cell then take an egg from a female of the species, then put the cell in the egg put the egg back in the female and later she will give birth to an exact replica of the animal who gave up one of his cells

Answer 3

yes. i belive so seeing as they have already been able to clone things such as dogs...i don't quite know how much dna and tissue they would need though.

Answer 4

Thylacines are extinct, sorry.

Cloning of them would be unlikely.  Their closest living "cousin" species aren't all that close, and would probably not have a suitable uterine environment for gestating a hybrid thylacine embryo.

Answer 5

It would be possible to clone said endangered creature fron tissue samples. The government is currently collencting tissues from all sorts of endangered plants and animals because they may go instinct. They are storing the tissues in a deep freeze, which means in liquid nitrogen is a vault somewhere. Hope I helped!
