Detailed explanation-1: -To make a clone, scientists transfer the DNA from an animal’s somatic cell into an egg cell that has had its nucleus and DNA removed. The egg develops into an embryo that contains the same genes as the cell donor.
Detailed explanation-2: -Clones are organisms that are exact genetic copies. Every single bit of their DNA is identical. Clones can happen naturally-identical twins are just one of many examples. Or they can be made in the lab.
Detailed explanation-3: -In reproductive cloning, researchers remove a mature somatic cell, such as a skin cell, from an animal that they wish to copy. They then transfer the DNA of the donor animal’s somatic cell into an egg cell, or oocyte, that has had its own DNA-containing nucleus removed.
