The explanation actually refers to humans, when it states: "In cloning, rather than half the chromosomes originating from each parent, the nucleus in the egg is replaced by a nucleus that contains all 46 chromosomes."
However you are correct in the case of sheep it would be...... the nucleus in the egg is replaced by a nucleus that contains all 54 chromosomes.
