What type of technology is used in cloning?

Cloning typically involves technologies such as somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT), where the nucleus from a somatic cell is transferred into an enucleated egg cell. Additionally, techniques like induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) allow for the reprogramming of adult cells into stem cells, which can then be used for cloning purposes. Other methods may include the use of CRISPR-Cas9 for gene editing in cloned organisms. Overall, these technologies enable the replication of genetic material to create genetically identical organisms.
