1952 First cloning experiment with frogs Robert Briggs and T.J.King used a pipette to suck the nucleus from the cell of an advanced frog embryo and added it to a frog egg. It did not develop.
1970 Another experiment on frogs yields better results John Gurdon tried the same procedure. The eggs developed into tadpoles but died after they were ready to begin feeding. He later showed that transplanted nuclei reverted to an embryonic state.
