Although they will share the same genetic code, different conditions in the womb and the environment they are exposed to after birth will change some characteristics, including aspects of the dogs appearance and behavior. Experts also warned that cloning animals is extremely unreliable, only successfully resulting in a healthy specimen (样本) in one or two of every hundred attempts, and that making the cloning process reliable would be a “major achievement”. But South Korean firm Sooam Biotech says it has never failed to produce a clone and will guarantee its work. The technique involves taking a single skin cell from the original animal and replicating its DNA to create a manmade embryo (胚胎), which is born after two months gestation (孕育). The company says it has cloned at least 400 dogs around the world, including rescue and police dogs for the South Korean government and dozens of pets for wealthy American owners. The competition, and following creation of Britains first cloned dog, will be filmed and broadcast in a documentary on Channel Four. Sooam Biotech scientist Insung Hwang said, “We can clone any breed, size or shape of dogs and are coming to the UK to offer this process to the owner of one very special dog. We welcome any UKbased dog owner who wants to benefit from this exciting new advance in biotechnology.” Prof Robin LovellBadge, Head of Developmental Genetics at the MRC National Institute for Medical Research, said cloning in dogs can work but warned that it is “not an efficient (高效的) process” and would not create a replica of the original pet.语篇解读：本文是新闻报道。一家韩国公司准备为英国人克隆他们的宠物狗，但科学家对此持谨慎态度。1Why did scientists warn dog owners?
