Answer:
The process of cloning using a somatic ovarian cell as the source of the nucleus is known as somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT). The basic steps of SCNT are:
Step-by-step explanation:
The nucleus of a somatic ovarian cell (a cell that is not involved in reproduction) is removed.
The nucleus is then inserted into an egg cell (oocyte) from which the nucleus has been removed.
The egg cell is then stimulated with an electric pulse or chemical agents, which causes it to begin the process of cell division.
The resulting cloned cell divides and develops into a ball of cells called a blastocyst, which is similar to a very early stage embryo.
The blastocyst is then implanted into the uterus of a surrogate mother or a laboratory dish for further development.
The cloned embryo will develop into an organism that is genetically identical to the organism from which the somatic cell was taken.
Genetically identical animals, including sheep, cattle, and other species, are produced using this method. The genetic and molecular mechanisms of development, illness, and aging are also studied using it in research. Cloning has been used to generate animals that are genetically identical and employed in medical research, as well as animals that have been genetically altered to produce useful proteins in their milk and other body fluids.
