The process of animal cloning by nuclear transfer involves removing the nucleus from a somatic cell of one animal and inserting it into an enucleated egg cell. After an electric shock to fuse and initiate division, the resulting embryo is transferred to a third animal's uterus to develop, creating a clone of the somatic cell donor.
El proceso de clonación animal por transferencia nuclear implica la extracción del núcleo de una célula somática de un animal y su inserción en un óvulo del que se ha extraído el núcleo. Tras una descarga eléctrica que induce la fusión y división celular, el embrión resultante se transfiere al útero de un tercer animal, produciendo un clon del donante de la célula somática.
