B) using a gene gun
C) stem cell research
D) nuclear transfer

Accepted Answer

Nuclear transfer, also known as somatic cell nuclear transfer, is the process used to clone animals like Dolly the sheep. In this process, the nucleus from a somatic cell (a non-reproductive cell) is removed and inserted into an egg cell that has had its nucleus removed. The resulting embryo is then implanted into a surrogate mother and allowed to develop into a clone of the original animal.
