Breeding programmes for rare animals: studbooks and frozen zoos, sentence 11

In 2020 a Przewalski's horse foal called Kurt was cloned from cells frozen in 1980, bringing back genes lost from the living herd; a clone has the same genes as the animal whose cells were used, and cloning needs well-kept cells, so a stone fossil cannot be cloned.

Who acts: clone, cloning · What happens: call, clone, freeze, bring back, lose, have · To what, where: horse foal, 2020, cells, 1980, genes, living herd · Speech: someone speaks here

This is a sentence of the lesson «Breeding programmes for rare animals: studbooks and frozen zoos» of the biology course of Mova's primary school. The page gives its syntax tree — a dependency tree in the style of Universal Dependencies — and its pragmatics clause by clause: who acts (clone, cloning), what happens, when and where, as Mova's frames read it from the tree.
