The stages are as follows:
- Remove a donor (diploid) cell with the full genetic information (contained in the nucleus)
- A cell must be obtained, but one with the capacity to divide. Thus, an egg cell is taken from a sheep.
- The egg cell nucleus is removed (it is enucleated)
- Desired DNA is placed into the egg cell. They are fused together with an electric shock.
- This newly combined cell divides by mitosis to produce a sheep embryo.
- The embryo is placed into the womb of another sheep (the surrogate mother)
- As the cells continue to divide, it will grow into a fetus and eventually be born.
The cloned sheep will have the DNA of the cell donor.
