What exactly is the process of cloning?
Isolate donor nucleus Get unfertilized eggs Remove the egg’s nucleus Insert donor nucleus Place the egg into womb 1. Isolate donor nucleus Isolate the nucleus from a somatic (non-reproductive) cell of a adult donor sheep. The nucleus contains the complete genetic material of the organism. This step is repeated many times to gather many cell nuclei. A very small needle and syringe (suction device) is used to poke through the cell membrane to capture the nucleus and remove it from the cell. 2.Get unfertilized eggs Retrieve unfertilized egg cells (reproductive) from a female sheep. Many eggs are needed since not all of them will survive the various steps of cloning. 3. Remove the egg’s nucleus Remove the egg cell’s nucleus, which contains only one-half of the sheep’s genetic material. A very small needle and syringe (suction device) is used to poke through the cell membrane to capture the nucleus and remove it from the cell. 4. Insert donor nucleus Insert the nucleus, with its complete ge
