SCNT individuals are offspring produced by reproductive cloning.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

SCNT stands for somatic cell nuclear transfer, which is the process of taking the nucleus of a somatic (body) cell and transferring it into an egg cell that has had its nucleus removed. The resulting embryo is then implanted into a surrogate mother and, if successful, will grow and develop into an individual that is genetically identical to the animal that donated the somatic cell. This is known as reproductive cloning, and the resulting offspring are SCNT individuals.
