Reproductive cloning involves the transfer of a nucleus from a donor cell into an egg cell whose nucleus has been removed. The resulting embryo will develop into a cloned individual with nearly the same genetic makeup as the individual who donated the nucleus. The female who carries the zygote to term and the female who donates the egg do not contribute genetic material to the cloned individual, so they would not have the same genetic makeup as the clone.
