Somatic cell nuclear transfer can create clones for both reproductive and therapeutic purposes. In genetics and developmental biology, somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT) is a laboratory strategy for creating a viable embryo from a body cell and an egg cell.
Plant propagation is the process of plant reproduction of a species or cultivar, and it can be sexual or asexual. It can happen through the use of vegetative parts of the plants, such as leaves, stems, and roots to produce new plants or through growth from specialized vegetative plant parts.
Taking this one stage further, the clue word can hint at the word or words to be abbreviated rather than giving the word itself. For example: "About" for C or CA (for "circa"), or RE. "Say" for EG, used to mean "for example". More obscure clue words of this variety include: "Model" for T, referring to the Model T.

Clonality implies the state of a cell or a substance being derived from one source or the other. Thus there are terms like polyclonal—derived from many clones; oligoclonal [2] —derived from a few clones; and monoclonal—derived from one clone. These terms are most commonly used in context of antibodies or immunocytes.
The cut needs to be done either immediately below a node, [14] or up to 1/2 inch below a node. [15] Ficus cuttings rooting in water. Besides placing the cuttings directly into soil, it is also possible to root cuttings in water. The water needs to be replaced often, to prevent bacteria buildup and the possibility of root rot. It also requires ...
The plant grows to well over 1 metre (3 ft) in height, [1] on hollow square stems which tend to break or trail on the ground, with the plant rooting quite readily at the nodes and internodes. [ 34 ] The flowers, which bloom only rarely, grow in whorls on a 30-centimetre (12 in) inflorescence , with about six flowers to each whorl.
Leafcutter ants can carry twenty times their body weight [6] and cut and process fresh vegetation (leaves, flowers, and grasses) to serve as the nutritional substrate for their fungal cultivates. [7] Acromyrmex and Atta ants have much in common anatomically; however, the two can be identified by their external differences.
