Question

An individual that arises by reproductive cloning has a nuclear genome that is identical to __________.

(a) the female who donated the egg.
(b) the adult who donated the cell for nuclear transplantation.
(c) both the female who donated the egg and the adult who donated the cell for nuclear transplantation.
(d) the foster mother in which the embryo is placed

Answer 1

Reproductive cloning results in a zygote with a nuclear genome identical to the adult donor of the nuclear transplant cell.

Step-by-step explanation:

Reproductive cloning involves replacing the haploid nucleus of an egg cell with a diploid nucleus from a cell of a donor individual. As a result, the resulting zygote will have a nuclear genome that is identical to the adult who donated the cell for nuclear transplantation, option (b).
