They made these clones by a process called automatic parthenogenesis: The egg is formed normally (with half the species» usual number of chromosomes), then fertilized by the «polar body,» a cell that is created during oogenesis and contains the same gene copies as the egg, resulting in the shark having half the genetic variation of its mother.
And the changes are handed down: While most of the chimp genome's 24 pairs of chromosomes undergo a genetic reshuffling during the production of sperm and eggs, with genes swapped between the two copies, there is only one Y chromosome and thus no mixing — the Y is transmitted intact.
