The cloning of Dolly involved several step. First,cells that had previously been taken from Dolly mother were starved for five day,which caused them to step dividing. After five day ,the nuclei of there cells were removed and transferred into an unfertilized sheep egg. In the next step. the egg was grown in the laboratory for a period of time. then the egg was implanted into a different sheep, where it grew normally. When the sheep finally gave birth, the lamp was an exact genetic copy, or clone that , of the sheep that had provided the transferred nucleus, not the sheep that provided the egg.
