The recipient oocyte is held by a glass pipette (left side of each frame), while a glass needle is used to remove the genetic material in the process of enucleation.
A cell containing the genetic material from the donor is placed inside the Zona Pellucida. An electrical pulse is then applied across the two cells, causing their membranes to fuse into one complete cell.
