It can be removed because of the of the nature of the phospholipid molecule which reseal themselves quickly when torn.

What is the difference between stem cell and cloning?
A stem cell is an undeveloped cell that can theoretically be stimulated to produce any tissue of that species, with the DNA of the stem cell. Cloning is taking the nucleus from one cell and implanting it into another cell with its nucleus removed, replacing the DNA in the target cell with that of the cell the nucleus was taken from.
Whole animal cloning puts a nucleus from a cell of one animal into?
An egg cell from another animal.
What will happen to a plant cell and an animal cell if the nucleus is removed?
It dies (after a while).
What will happen to a cell if its nucleus is removed?
Since the nucleus is known as "the brain of the cell", if it were removed, the cell would die almost instantly. The nucleus controls all of the cell organelles, whether it be the mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum, ribosomes, cytoplasms, or even the nucleolus. So if the nucleus was removed, since it controls all of the organelles, the cell would die and so would the organism it is controlling.
Which organelle is the control centre of the cell why?
The nucleus is the control center of the cell. It contains DNA which are the instructions for the cell. ** The nucleus is the control centre of the cell because cells whose nuclei have been removed lose their functions, but cells with a nucleus transplanted from a different cell take on the characteristics of the cell from which the nucleus was taken.
When the nucleus is removed from a body cell of one organism and is placed in an egg cell that has had its nucleus removed is known as?
Cloning... i just has this question on castle learning aha!

What are the cons of cloning?
C. Placing an adult nucleus in a cell without a nucleus.
What is the order of Wilmut's technique of cloning mammals?
The correct order of Wilmut's technique of cloning mammals is: 1.) An egg cell is taken from the adult. 2.) The nucleus of the egg cell is then removed. 3.) The nucleus of an adult cell from the animal to be cloned is then put into the egg cell. 4.) Then the normal cell division begins. 5.) The embryo is then put into the uterus of a foster mother or surrogate mother. 6.) The cloned offspring is born.
The process of reproductive cloning begins by?
placing an adult nucleus in a cell without a nucleus...the answer is c
Which year started the cloning?
Cloning was first performed in 1970 when Dr. John B Gurdon (UK) cloned a frog by transplanting the intestinal cell of a tadpole into a frog egg cell where the nucleus was removed. This develops into the adult frog with the same genotype as the tadpole used for the experiment
What is cloning and how does it work?
Cloning is creating an exact genetic copy of something. To clone first take the nucleus from a donor cell, and collect some unfertilized eggs. Remove and replace an egg nucleus with the donor cell nucleus, and put the egg in a womb, for it to be born.
Involves fusing a cell without a nucleus from an adult organism with a cell from another adult organism?
cloning
Whole animal cloning puts a nucleus from a cell of one animal into?
An egg cell from another animal.
What is the role of the Egg cell donor.?
A donor cell is a cell that a donor donates for genetic research.
Is the nucleus responsible for the cells behavior?
no because when the nucleus is removed from the cell the cell's behavior doesn't change
Do clones have the same age of the donor at birth?
No. Cloning is essentially taking an egg (somatic cell) from the donor and regrowing it in a cell with no nucleus.
