Making
clones by nuclear transplatation.
(Taking the cell from a fertilized ovum)
In this section we will show you one way how clone technology works.
@You can also see this show in Shockwave as well

There are two cows. Cow 1, and Cow 2. Cow 1 is pregnet and has egg that we will copy from. Cow 2 is going to be the cow that will give birth to the new cloned cow. |
|
|
And then we prepare a unfertilized onum from another female cow. |

When the nuceler split starts, we will take out the fertilized ovum from Cow 1.Then by using enzyme we will split the nuclues one by one. |
|
|
Then we will take cell out of the unfertilized ovum that came from an diffrent femal cow. To replace that cell we will put in the cell that we took from Cow 1. |

But the unfertilized ovum and the cell from cow 1 will not fuse. So we will give it a slight electric shock. Then the miracle happens. The cell and the unfertilized ovum will come together and be one fertilized ovum. This would be in words "The Cloned Egg" |

After that we will put that ovum into Cow 2 and then wait for the baby to come to our world. The newborn cow will be a exelent cloned cow. |
By using more unfertilized ovums it is possible to make more cloned calfs then 2. In theory, it is possible to make up to 16 cloned babys. This is because the nuclear fission makes up to 8 to 16 cells in 3 to 4 days. But you would need a unfertilized ovum for each new baby.
