The invention provides a method for obtaining a live offspring having maternal chromosomes derived from a live first polar body of an oocyte that has completed the first meiotic division. It has been discovered herein that chromosomes in the first polar body are able to participate in normal embryonic development if they are allowed to complete the second meiotic division within an enucleated mature oocyte, and are then allowed to mingle with chromosomes of a spermatozoon. The invention further provides a method for producing up to four embyros or live offspring having the chromosomes of a single oocyte, by using both the first polar body chromosomes, and the second polar body chromosomes to reconstitute recipient enucleated (fertilized) oocytes. |
