Detailed explanation-1: -Reproductive cloning is defined as the deliberate production of genetically identical individuals. Each newly produced individual is a clone of the original.

Detailed explanation-2: -In nature, some plants and single-celled organisms, such as bacteria, produce genetically identical offspring through a process called asexual reproduction. In asexual reproduction, a new individual is generated from a copy of a single cell from the parent organism.

Detailed explanation-3: -Reproductive cloning generally uses “somatic cell nuclear transfer” (SCNT) to create animals that are genetically identical.

Detailed explanation-4: -This is called somatic cell nuclear transfer. There are two main methods for transferring the donor DNA into an egg. One is by injection with a needle. Another is by fusing the adult cell with the empty egg cell with an electrical current.
