Dolly the sheep, the first mammal cloned from a somatic (body) cell, came into the world innocent as a lamb. However, soon after the announcement of her birth in February 1997 (Wilmut et al., 1997) she caused panic and controversy. An important, and for many people troubling question arose: if the cloning of sheep is possible, will scientists soon start cloning humans as well; and if they did, would this be wrong or unwise? For most people, Dolly was really a wolf in sheepâs clothing.
Plants contain other pigments that reflect different colors, but these are often masked by Chlorophyll. An example of another common pigment is the carotenoids. During autumn, when the days begin to shorten, the amount of chlorophyll in the leaves of trees is dramatically reduced.
What is the difference between Plants and Fungi? â¢ All plants are multicellular, but some fungi are unicellular. â¢ Plants are photosynthetic, and fungi are not photosynthetic. â¢ Plants contain photosynthetic pigments, but fungi do not contain photosynthetic pigments. â¢ Plants are photoautotrophs and fungi are chemoheterotrophs. â¢ Storage food substance of plants is starch and storage food substance of fungi is lipid or glycogen.
