Cloning

What is the process of cloning?A skin cell containing 46 chromosomes is taken from a male specimen. An egg cell (which contains only 23 chromosomes) is taken from a female specimen. The nuclei are taken from both cells by a micropipette. The skin nucleus from the skin cell containing all 46 chromosomes is inserted into the egg cell. The egg cell now has all the instructions to clone the male specimen. The egg cell is then surgically inserted into the female specimens womb. Nine months later a clone of the male specimen is born.
