A) differentiated; nuclear transfer; cell fusion; nucleated

D) embryonic; transformation; nuclear transfer; nucleated
E) differentiated; transformation; cell fusion; enucleated

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Plants can be cloned from differentiated somatic cells, but animals have been cloned using nuclear transfer, where the nucleus from a donor cell is inserted into an enucleated egg, or by cell fusion, where two cells are fused together to create a single cell with a double nucleus. Therefore, option C is the correct answer as it accurately describes both methods used for animal cloning.
