Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Cloning using somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT) [ 1]. This procedure starts with the removal of the chromosomes from an egg to create an enucleated egg. The chromosomes are replaced with a nucleus taken from a somatic (body) cell of the individual or embryo to be cloned.
Detailed explanation-2: -Reproductive cloning creates copies of whole organisms or animals. In reproductive cloning, researchers transfer the nuclear DNA of an adult cell, such as a skin cell, into an egg cell that has had its nucleus removed. This is called somatic cell nuclear transfer.
