The cell then divides and behaves as if it were a regular embryo. Answer the following question(s) regarding a clone.Of whom is the baby a clone?

Answer:

The mature animal

Explanation:

The baby would be a clone of the mature animal whose DNA was placed in the unfertilized egg before being implanted into the uterus of a surrogate mother.

The DNA of the egg donor has been removed and replaced with the DNA of the mature animal. The surrogate mother is just a mere carrier and has no biological relationship with the clone. The only organism with biological relationship with the clone would be the one that donates its DNA, which in this case is the mature animal.
