Somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT) cloning ... is accomplished by taking two cells – an egg cell from a female and a somatic cell from the person or animal to be cloned. The nucleus of the egg cell is removed and discarded. The nucleus from the somatic cell is then transferred to the [enucleated] egg cell. The egg cell and its new nucleus are fused together with the expectation it will grow. If cell division and growth is accomplished, the clone’s life has begun. 3, record 1, English, - somatic%20cell%20nuclear%20transfer%20cloning
