Reproduction Technology (RT)
Reproduction Technology is used in agriculture, aquaculture, and conservation.
Although cryopreserved sperm of fish, birds and mammals has been used in both agriculture and in conservation programs, techniques for the crypreservation of amphibian sperm have only recently been developed.
A competent adult can be derived from enucleated eggs with only nuclei from sperm.
A competent adult can be derived from oocytes without fertilisation by sperm.
Cloning is the development of an embryo from the nuclei of a diploid cell by its implantation in an enucleated egg.
The use of Reproduction Technology allows the preservation of many species which are reaching extinction including frogs.
