In somatic cell nuclear transfer, an unfertilized egg cells has its genome destroyed, but its cytoplasm remains intact. The nucleus of a somatic cell from a different animal is then transferred into that egg cell. When successful, the result is a cloned animal. Which of the following does the cloned animal inherit from the animal that donated the egg cell? a. Autosomes b. Sex chromosomes c. Mitochondrial DNA Which of the following does the cloned animal inherit from the animal that donated the nucleus of a somatic cell? a. Autosomes b. Sex chromosomes c. Mitochondrial DNA In one sentence, explain in general terms what the molecules in the egg cell do to the genes in the transplanted somatic cell's nucleus.
