Polly the sheep was cloned using a technique called somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT). This process involved taking a nucleus from a somatic cell of an adult sheep and transferring it into an egg cell that had its nucleus removed. The egg cell was then stimulated to develop into an embryo, which was implanted into a surrogate mother sheep, ultimately resulting in the birth of Polly, a genetic copy of the donor sheep. This groundbreaking method demonstrated the potential for cloning in mammals.
