In this video you will learn all the science for this topic to get a grade 9 or A* in your science exams!








Take any body cell, also called an adult cell from the first sheep. You remove the nucleus from the adult cell. You can discard the empty cell with no nucleus. You take a mature egg from a female sheep. You remove the nucleus from this mature egg cell. You discard the nucleus but keep the empty egg cell. You add the nucleus from the adult cell to the empty adult cell. To fuse the nucleus and the empty cell, and to initiate cell division and the formation of an embryo, you give it a mild electric shock. Once an embryo is formed you can implant the embryo into the uterus of a surrogate sheep. The sheep born will be a genetic clone of the sheep from where the adult cell was taken.
