20、iences had created two clone monkeys named “Zhong Zhong” and “Hua Hua” by nuclear transferring of somatic(躯体的) cells any cell in the organism other than reproductive cells. This was the similar technology used to create the famous clone sheep Dolly in 1996.Tetra, a rhesus monkey born in 1999, is the
