Live Genetic Engineering

Identify the process described by the following steps: 1. Isolate donor cells 2. Remove and discard the nucleus from the egg cell 3. Transfer the somatic cell nucleus into the enucleated egg cell 4. Stimulate cell division 5. Implant the embryo into the surrogate mother 6. Deliver the baby mouse clone
