In a cloning experiment, the nucleus of a differentiated cell is able to stop expressing the genes of the adult tissue from which it is taken (A) and begins to selectively express the genes that are appropriate for the activated egg in which it suddenly finds itself (C). This process is essential for reprogramming the nucleus to support the development of a new organism.
