Reproductive Cloning and Somatic Cell Nuclear Transfer

Video not yet published
to the StudyWalks catalog
State

Reproductive cloning produces a genetically matched organism using somatic cell nuclear transfer: transferring a donor's diploid nucleus into an enucleated egg, a technique also usable therapeutically.

Show

Dolly the sheep, born in 1996, developed from a donor nucleus transferred into an enucleated egg and implanted in a surrogate.

Watch for

Nuclear transfer supplies the donor's nuclear DNA; the egg's cytoplasm still shapes early development.
