5.19 describe the stages in the production of cloned mammals involving the introduction of a diploid nucleus from a mature cell into an enucleated egg cell, illustrated by Dolly the sheep

A egg cell with the nucleus removed has the DNA of another cell put in (this will be have a complete set of chromosones (diploid number of)). The embryo that forms will then have DNA from only one parent: the one the DNA was taken from. This means it will be a clone! for example dolly the sheep.

  4. A large heat/electrical shock is also used when the DNA from the somatic cell is put into the enuclaleated egg cell so that the cell actually starts dividing
