Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Reproductive cloning may require the use of a surrogate mother to allow development of the cloned embryo, as was the case for the most famous cloned organism, Dolly the sheep.
Detailed explanation-2: -Does a surrogate mother share her DNA with the baby? This is a fairly common question and the answer is no. In a compensated surrogacy arrangement with a gestational carrier, the baby’s DNA comes from the intended mother’s egg, or from an egg donor, and from the intended father’s sperm, or from a sperm donor.
