How was the first Copy Cat was cloned from a kitten?
Cloning is the practice of creating organisms, either spontaneously or intentionally, with similar or nearly identical DNA. There are various organisms which utilize asexual replication for generating clones. Biotechnology cloning is artificial cloning refers to generating the clones of organisms from the genetic material that is similar to their parent cell.
The nuclear transfer technique is used for cloning the first cat from a kitten in 2001. The procedures include removing the nucleus from an oocyte (unfertilized egg) of the kitten and the nucleus' infusion from other cells containing the DNA to be cloned. The freshly constructed cell will multiply naturally, replicating the current DNA while staying in a blastocyst stage. If the cloned cells are put in a female mammal's womb, a cloned organism grows and forms an adult cat, a copy or replica of the kitten in rare circumstances.
