In the cloning of cattle, a fertilized egg is taken out of the mother’s womb and:
| 1. | From this up to eight identical twins can be produced |
| 2. | The egg is divided into four pairs of cells that are implanted into the womb of other cows. |
| 3. | In the eight-cell stage, cells are separated and cultured until small embryos are formed which are implanted into the womb of other cows. |
| 4. | In the eight-cell stage, the individual cells are separated under the electrical field for further development in culture media. |
