Summary Introduction
To explain:
The reason that the technique used for cloning mammals is called “somatic cell nuclear transfer”.
Concept introduction:
Cloning is defined as the production of one or more individual plants or animals that are genetically identical to the original parent. A clone is an exact copy of organism, organ, single cell, organelle or macromolecule.
