Abstract :
If a nucleus of an animal cell is transplanted (transferred) into an enucleated egg of another animal of the same species,then under the right conditions, the enucleated egg containing the transplanted nucleus would divide and eventuallydevelop into an exact copy of the animal who donated its nucleus, i.e., a clone of the nuclear donor. Hence, the officialdesignation of "cloning" is "nuclear transfer". A clone is thus an animal which has the same genotype and showing thesame phenotype of another animal. Monozygotic twins are natural human clones. These twins have the same geneticmake up and look exactly alike
