What is the purpose of somatic cell donor?
Somatic cells are body cells that contain a full set of chromosomes. I imagine that a somatic cell donor donates healthy body cells to someone who needs them.
What is the role of the somatic cell donor in cloning?
the clone will come out exactly just like the one who donated the somatic cell
Do clones have the same age of the donor at birth?
No. Cloning is essentially taking an egg (somatic cell) from the donor and regrowing it in a cell with no nucleus.

What is the introduction of the nucleus from a body cell into an egg cell to generate an organism identical to the nucleus donor?
This is Somatic Cell Nuclear Transfer, also known as cloning. This was the processed used to clone Dolly the sheep in 1997.
What cell type is diploid sex cell or ovum or gamete or somatic cell?
The only option in that list that can be diploid is the somatic cell.
How do chromosomes transmit from cell to cell in the somatic cell?
A somatic cell is a cell that reproduces by mitosis. Therefore, a somatic cell transfers its information (in the chromosomes) by producing two daughter cells.
What is somatic cell nuclear transfer?
The transfer of a cell nucleus from a somatic cell into an enucleated egg cell.
How is clone done?
The most common form of cloning is somatic cell nuclear transfer. A somatic cell is taken from the animal that will be cloned. This is usually obtained by a skin biopsy. An unfertilized egg is collected from a donor animal. The DNA of the egg is removed and the DNA of the somatic cell is inserted into the egg. The egg and cell fuse. Stimulation causes the new egg to grow as if it had been fertilized by sperm. The egg is then inserted into a "surrogate mother". The animal gives birth to the clone.
Is a liver cell a somatic cell?
Yes, liver sells are somatic cells.
Explain the difference in the number of chromosomes between a frog somatic cell and a frog egg cell?
A somatic cell is any body cell that is a non-sex cell and an egg cell is the female reproductive cell; the female gamete
What kind of cell cell is a somatic cell?
A somatic cell is part of the nervous system. (somatic also means body). This cell is a multicellular organsim.A somatic cell is also generally taken to mean any cell forming the body of an organism such as, internal organs skin, bones, blood and connective tissue are all made up of somatic cells.
