Cloning using blastomere separation

In blastomere separation, scientists fertilize an egg cell with a sperm cell

in a laboratory dish. The resulting embryo is allowed to divide until it forms a
mass of about four cells. Scientists remove the outer coating of the embryo
and place it in a special solution that causes the individual cells of the
embryo, known as blastomeres, to separate. Scientists then put each
blastomere in culture, where it forms an embryo containing the same genetic
makeup as the original embryo. Each new embryo can then be implanted
into the uterus of a surrogate mother to develop during a normal pregnancy.
