Actually the first experiment in this was 1959 LeJeune. He got Frog spawn, which you will recollect is just one cell - but big! And he irradiated it, so it was now dead frog spawn. And then he got a frog liver cell and got the nucleus and put it into the irradiated frog spawn. Everyone thought that he would get a clump of liver cells or a chunk of liver but instead he got a whole frog! This showed that every frog cell had all the info needed to design a frog. Ths experiment was the equivalent of Einstein's relativity in Biology.
