The basics of the idea are as follows: You isolate a complete intact cell from a donor, taken from a part of the body where the cells of which are known to contain COMPLETE DNA molecules, not partials or probable mutations. The lining of your abdomen is one such bodypart as its one of the first parts of your physiology to develope in the embryo. That means the cells in the lining of your abdomen have complete copies of your parental DNA, not copies of copies, or copies of copies of copies, etc... You need the COMPLETE, more original DNA molecule to make a complete clone.

Once you have isolated a cell within which is known to be a complete copy of the Parental DNA molecule of the organism you want to clone, then insert that intact/healthy cell inside of an egg-cell that has had the mother's reproductive chromosomes removed/pulled out. This leaves you with an empty egg, which now only needs a complete DNA molecule to act where in nature the parents' donated/combined chromosomes would otherwise have functioned. Having inserted the egg with the cell holding the complete DNA-molecule, a small controlled electric shock fuses the donor cell from the animal to be cloned, to the egg. Another closes the egg, and kick-starts the cell-metabolism up again, pushing it into mitosis, where the cell divides over and over, and the resulting continued cell-growth becomes and turns into the embryo of the clone you just made.

If the embryo is quickly introduced into a surrogate mother so it may carry the cloned lifeform's growth into a fetus, and then to term (assuming the gestation is successful and the clone is not rejected), then the cloning process is said to have gone 'full-term'. This means that it produced a living/breathing stable clone of the original animal you were trying to copy.

As you can imagine, this process takes years and years of study, no small amount of patience, hefty funding, and some VERY unique and specific equipment. This I'm guessing will probably cost through the roof (like a micro-manipulator array, for example). This is why cloning is only undertaken by large stable companies like pharmacuetical companies or high-end educational or research establishments, like universities.

Another closes the egg, and kick-starts the cell-metabolism up again, pushing it into mitosis, where the cell divides over and over, and the resulting continued cell-growth becomes/turns-into the EMBRYO of the clone you just made.

If the embryo is quickly introduced into a serogate mother so it may carry the cloned lifeform's growth into a fetus, and then to term (assuming the gestation is successful and the clone is not rejected), then the cloning has gone 'full-term' and produced a living/breathing stable clone of the original animal you were trying to copy.

There are several different types of animal cloning. The original animal clone, of a sheep named Dolly, was done through oocyte nuclear transfer. An oocyte was removed from the ovary and the nucleus was removed; a nucleus was then removed from a skin cell and inserted into the oocyte. The oocyte was stimulated to start dividing as if it had been fertilized and once the oocyte was dividing and turning into a blastocyst it was implanted into the uterus of Dolly for gestation.

answer will vary

taking an egg from an animal, removing the nucleolus. getting another animal and putting that nucleolus in the egg. and bobs your uncle.
