Front What type of reproduction are clones produced by?

Artificial ways of producing clones:

How can clones be produced in animals?

Method to produce clones with animals cells (1-5)
Back -asexual

-cuttings: used by garderners
-tissue culture: uses small groups of cells to grow new plants and used to preserve rare plant species.

-By splitting apart cells from the embryo before they become specialised and then transplanting the identical embryos into host mothers.

1-remove nucleus from unfertilised egg
2-insert the nucleus from an adult body cell of the organism you want to clone into the empty egg cell
3-stimulate the egg cell to divide using an electric shock
4-allow the resulting embryo to develop into a ball of cells
5-insert the embryo into the womv of a surrogate female to continue its development
