process creating genetically identical organism via somatic cell transfer

Reproductive cloning is a process used to create an organism that is genetically identical to another existing or previously existing organism. This is typically achieved through a technique called somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT), where the nucleus of a somatic cell is transferred into an enucleated egg cell, which is then stimulated to develop into an embryo and implanted into a surrogate mother. This method has been famously used to clone animals like Dolly the sheep.
