Question:
What is therapeutic cloning?
Author: yxng.edxnAnswer:
This is when the nucleus of a differentiated cell is taken from a patient and inserted into an empty egg cell from a donor. This is done so the stem cells contain the same genes as the patients and isn't rejected. The cell gets stimulated to divide and develop into an embryo, making it available for therapeutic use, since it can grow into any human transplant, this would make it a transplant.
