What involves fusing a cell without a nucleus from an adult organism with a cell from another adult organism?

The process you are referring to is somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT), also known as cloning. In SCNT, the nucleus of a somatic cell (cell without a nucleus) from one adult organism is transferred into an enucleated egg cell from another adult organism. This can be used for research purposes or to produce genetically identical organisms.
