Mitosis

A somatic cell from a sheep is cultured in a starved medium, causing it to stop dividing. The nucleus is removed from an unfertilized egg cell from another sheep. The somatic cell is fused with the enucleated egg cell using an electrical pulse, forming an embryo. The embryo is implanted into a surrogate mother sheep, allowing it to develop further.

Somatic cells (from the mammary gland cells) are removed and grown in a low culture medium.

the starved cell stop dividing and enter a non-dividind phase. The embryo is then implanted into a surrogate mother (the same breed of sheep as the ovum donor sheep)

An unfertilised eggs cell is obtained. The nucleus is sucked out, leaving the cytoplasm and orgenalles without any chromosomes.

The cells divides repeatedly, forming an embryo

An electrical pulse stimulates the fusion betweeen the somatic cell and the egg cell without nucleus

Mitosis
All somatic cell Pairing of homologous chromosomes (synapsis) does not occur. Crossing over does not occur One Two daughter cell

Aspect
Type of cell Synapsis

Meiosis
Cells in reproductive organ Homologous chromosomes pair up (synapsis) to form bivalents Crossing over occur Two Four daughter cells

Crossing over No of cell division No. of daughter cells produce at the end of cell division

Diploid (2n)

Genetically to the parent cell

Chromosomes number of the daughter cells Genetic content

Haploid (n)

Different from the parent cell
