Cloning Mimi the Mouse!!!

Materials Needed:
     - Microscope
     - Petri Dishes
     - Sharp Pipette
     - Blunt Pipette
     - Chemical to Stimulate Cell Division
     - Mice!!!

          To clone Mimi the Mouse the items listed up above are required. Cloning is based on the genetic structure of both parents to create another set of genes in another organism. The organism will therefor be similar in many ways of the parent that provided the egg cell. The first step to this process is to isolate donor cells from Mimi and her mate Megdo. After collecting donor cells you must discard the nucleus from the egg cell. Next, you transfer the somatic cell nucleus into the enucleated egg cell, this stimulates cell division. Finally implantation of the embryo occurs and can be placed in a sergeant mother. And within time the fetus will be born into a new world all due to the process of cloning and reproduction!!!
