Question

what is animal cloning and its steps?

Mushtaq Ahmed · Accepted Answer

Animal Cloning is the process by which an entire animal is
reproduced from a single cell taken from the parent animal and in a
genetically identical manner The cloned animal is an duplicate copy
of its parent and has the same exact DNA
The basic idea behind reproductive cloning of animals is to
transfer the ready-made DNA (Deoxy Ribose Nuclei Acid - the genetic
material into an egg and create an identical organism the process
of cloning is also called 'somatic cell nuclear transfer'
Steps of clonning:
1 Nucleus Transfer: The
first step is the transfer of genetic information DNA in the form
of Nucleus from a cell of the animal to be cloned, to an egg in
which nucleus has been removed
2 Stimulate Cell Division: Now the egg
is stimulated to divide by treatment with some chemicals or
electric current
3 Embryo Transplant in
Host: With stimulation, the
'asexually' produced zygote starts dividing into a multi cellular
embryo When this embryo is sufficiently developed,it is transfered
ino the uterus of a female host, who acts as its surrogate mother
The rest of the development of the embryo takes place as the normal
animal
