I just took a quiz in biology, and the only question I missed stated: Researchers clone an adult animal by using nuclei from its cells to replace the nuclei in the eggs from which the animals developed. And the book said: In cloning an entire animal, the nucleus from a single cell of that adult animal replaces the nucleus of an unfertilized egg cell from another animal of the same species.
See how they use nuclei in the question, and nucleus in the textbook? somebody help meh, help meh please!

It's been said, but they are the same thing (nuclei is plural). I suspect you are thinking of the nucleolus, which is a part of but different than a nucleus.

Okay it has already been said the Nuclei is the plural of Nucleus.
When referring to cloning you should be using the singular from, since a single cell which is what you use to clone may only contain one Nucleus.
