Commonly used in mice to propagate required characteristics.
Embryonic stem cells are used as a source of totipotent nuclei, which are capable of dividing into a range of new cells.
These cells are fused with pre-ovulatory oocytes which have had their own haploid nucleus removed using electrofusion.
Cells are artificially stimulated to the second meiotic division and begin embryonic development.
The cell source ,capable of replication in culture, can be stored by freezing and is therefore 'immortal' and able to produce many identical individuals.
Cloned individuals have a high percentage of developmental abnormalities.
- Often associated with Arthritis and Joint problems.
