Cloning by nuclear transfer from adult somatic cells is a remarkable demonstration of developmental plasticity. When a nucleus is placed in oocyte cytoplasm, the changes in chromatin structure that govern differentiation can be reversed, and the nucleus can be made to control development to term.
通过成年体细胞进行核移植的克隆是发育可塑性的一个显著例证。当一个细胞核被置于卵母细胞的细胞质中时,控制分化的染色质结构变化可以被逆转,并且细胞核能够被促使控制发育直至足月。
