Because of the fission process that consumes the fuels, the old fuel rods must be changed periodically to fresh ones (this period is called a cycle). However, only a part of the assemblies (typically one-third) are removed since the fuel depletion is not spatially uniform.
In fertilization, the sperm and egg both contain one set of chromosomes. the father (sperm) and one from the mother (egg). In SCNT, the egg cell's single set of chromosomes is removed. chromosomes. come from the somatic cell.
In the cloning process, the nucleus from an unfertilized egg cell is replaced with the nucleus from a donor cell. Scientists then activate the egg to begin dividing to produce stem cells. Enlarge Photo credit: Courtesy of Drs.
