The process of reproductive cloning involves several intricate steps: 1. Isolation of a somatic cell from the organism to be cloned. 2. Enucleation of an oocyte: The nucleus is removed from an egg cell. 3. Nuclear Transfer: The somatic cell nucleus is inserted into the enucleated egg cell. 4. Activation and Cultivation: The reconstructed egg is chemically or electrically stimulated to begin cell division. 5. Embryo Transfer: The developing embryo is implanted into a surrogate mother where it can develop to term.
