When did scientist started cloning?

In 1996, dolly was cloned, but she did not last long, dolly died in 2003.

Is dolly the sheep dead or alive?

Dolly the sheep died on February 15 2003 from Ovine Pulmonary Adenocarcinoma. OPA is a fairly common disease on sheep farms but usually affects older sheeps. Other sheep on the farm where Dolly lived were also treated for the same lung ailment and this is very common in sheep that are kept indoors. So to understand how Dolly passed away at such a young age, we need to understand the function of these tiny sacrificial materials found at the end of the DNA strand known as the telomeres. Telomeres are basically little pieces of the ends on every DNA strand that basically have no codes on them but as the cells go through mitosis (which is the division of one parent cell into two daughters), while the DNA and all of the genes on it are duplicated equally and have 100% the same amount of genes as the original parent, the telomeres do NOT restore to their original amount. So with every mitosis, the number of telomeres in each new cell is less than the amount found in the original parent cell. In general, telomeres are one of the major contributors of aging and the lesser you have, the older you'll look! In normal birth between, every individual regardless of species have a set amount of telomeres which as a result determines that individual's life span and how long they will live. Once an organism runs low on telomeres, they start to age get elder-looking features as well as lose some genes at the ends of each strand. The reason is because telomeres NEVER turn back on once the child is born so they remain inactive throughout the organism's whole life while their DNA on the other hand is always active. In Dolly's case, the young ewe was cloned from an ADULT which means that her DNA was directly extracted from an adult sheep! That adult that she was cloned from already had HALF the telomeres (in this case, only 7 years left of her life span). Since Dolly was directly copied off from an adult with half the telomeres of a regular baby sheep, this means that she was born with only half the life span of a normal sheep and this is what caused her to apparently age rapidly and pass away at what was supposedly a young age for a sheep. It's because she was already an old lady sheep at that age with very little telomeres left as a result of cloning from an adult sheep with only half the telomeres!

What went wrong with dolly the sheep?

Dolly the sheep, the first mammal cloned from an adult somatic cell, faced several health issues that raised concerns about cloning. She developed arthritis at a young age and was euthanized at six years old due to progressive lung disease, which some researchers linked to her being created from an adult cell rather than an embryo. These problems sparked debates about the long-term viability and ethical implications of cloning technology. Additionally, her early death raised questions about the aging process in cloned animals, suggesting they might age faster than their naturally conceived counterparts.

How long does a clone human live?

Cloned humans, if they were to exist, would theoretically have a lifespan similar to that of non-cloned humans, assuming they are born healthy and do not face any specific medical issues. However, studies on cloned animals, like sheep, have shown that they can experience various health problems and shorter lifespans. The long-term effects of cloning on human health and longevity are still unknown, as no human clones currently exist. Therefore, predicting the lifespan of a cloned human remains speculative.

Is sheep a short or long e sound?

The word "sheep" has a long e sound.

Did scientists use DNA to bring back an extinct species in the movie Jurassic Park and how is that different from the creation of cloned sheep used differentiated cells?

In the movie Jurassic Park, scientists used DNA extracted from dinosaur amber to recreate extinct species, specifically dinosaurs. This fictional process involves mixing ancient DNA with frog DNA to fill in gaps, leading to the resurrection of these long-extinct creatures. In contrast, the creation of cloned sheep, like Dolly, involves somatic cell nuclear transfer, where the nucleus of a differentiated cell is inserted into an egg cell to produce a genetically identical organism. While Jurassic Park's premise relies on ancient DNA and genetic manipulation, cloning uses existing DNA from living cells to create a copy of a specific organism.

Does sheep have a long vowel sound?

Yes, sheep has a long E vowel sound. It is the same sound as in sheet and sheen. Sheep rhymes with sleep and keep.
