Dolly, a female domestic sheep, was the first mammal to be cloned from a fully differentiated cell, using the process of nuclear transfer the nucleus of a _____________ is transferred into a cytoplasmic donor.

Answer 1

Dolly, a female domestic sheep, was the first mammal to be cloned from a fully differentiated cell, using the process of nuclear transfer the nucleus of a ____somatic cell _________ is transferred into a cytoplasmic donor.

The answer is somatic cell

Answer 2

Ans.

Dolly was first cloned mammal, from a somatic cell of adult sheep, using the nuclear transfer process. She was produced using a technique that involved formation of a hybrid cell by transferring the nucleus of a somatic cell (or adult cell) into a cytoplasmic donor (a cell, from which nucleus was removed).

The resulting hybrid cells was divided and developed into blastocyst, which was then implanted into a surrogate mother.

Thus, the correct answer is somatic cell.
