Chapter 20.3, Problem 2CC
Summary Introduction

To determine: Whether the cloning of dogs using nuclei from cells of a pet will develop clones identical to the original pet.

Concept introduction:

Reproductive cloning refers to the production of genetically identical version of an existing organism. This is done through “somatic cell nuclear transfer”. The nucleus of an egg is replaced with nucleus of somatic body cell (differentiated cell) known as donor nucleus. This is implanted into surrogate mother where the embryo develops into so-called clone. The somatic cell used for this procedure is a differentiated body cell.

Summary Introduction
