Question

 researchers have been able to clone
mammals by fusing a cell having a diploid nucleus (i.e., a somatic
cell) with an egg that has had its nucleus removed.
A. With regard to maternal effect genes, would the phenotype of
such a cloned animal be determined by the animal that donated
the egg or by the animal that donated the somatic cell? Explain.
B. Would the cloned animal inherit extranuclear traits from the
animal that donated the egg or from the animal that donated the
somatic cell? Explain.
C. In what ways would you expect this cloned animal to be similar
to or different from the animal that donated the somatic cell? Is
it fair to call such an animal a clone of the animal that donated
the diploid nucleus?
