Why is it necessary to "starve" the donor cells prior to reproductive cloning? A) to force the cells into G₀ stage so that the nuclei removed from them will respond to cytoplasmic growth signals B) to force the enucleated egg cell into G₀ stage so that it would accept the donor nucleus C) to lengthen the telomeres in the donor nucleus D) to make the nucleus "start over" in the S stage so that the nucleus will be diploid E) to make the nucleus "start over" in the S stage so that the nucleus will be haploid

Withholding nutrients from the donor cell stresses it and causes it to enter a resting G₀ stage, where growth signals in the cytoplasm and then encourage DNA duplication in the nucleus and subsequent mitosis.
