Dolly's DNA all comes from the same sheep. It was placed into an ovum from a second sheep; the ovum's DNA had been removed so as not to mix with Dolly's DNA. The ovum was implanted into a third sheep who gave birth to Dolly.

Compare the genes in dolly and the sheep from which she was cloned?

Dolly and the sheep from which she was cloned have the same genes because Dolly was cloned using the genetic material from the donor sheep's somatic cell. The genetic material in both animals is identical, as Dolly's DNA was derived from the donor sheep's DNA.


What is an example of cloning?

Dolly the sheep is a famous example - Scientists in Scotland cloned a ewe by inserting DNA from a single sheep cell into an egg and implanted it in a surrogate mother


What was the name of the first sheep to be cloned using an adult egg?

The first cloned placental mammal was Dolly the Sheep. She was named after the ample chested singer dolly parton because the DNA for her egg was taken from a mammary cell of the cloned animal.


Why can't quaggas be cloned?

The main Reason Quaggas can not be cloned is due to the lack of DNA. Scientists have found some DNA but not a full set of 23 pairs of Chromosomes.


What was the scandal with DNA?

I believe you're referring to Stem cell research also know as cloning the scandal was that (i apologize i forget the scientists names) cloned a sheep named dolly using cells that had already been specialized ("programmed to become this rather then that) before dolly it was believed that specialized cells couldn't be used for cloning, as well dolly was cloned using a rather cheap process and when this information hit mainstream the DNA scandal was born and made illegal in North America as well as most countries


What kind of cells was used to make Dolly?

Dolly the cloned sheep was the first example of an animal cloned with DNA from a somatic cell (a cell which is not a gamete/sex cell). Specifically, Dolly was cloned from a cell of a sheep's mammary gland.However, the complete somatic cell itself was not a part of the embryo that became Dolly. Instead, scientists removed the DNA from an unfertilized sheep oocyte (a precursor to an egg) and inserted the DNA taken from the mammary gland cell in its place. This meant that only the nucleus from the mammary gland cell was actually used to create Dolly.


Have scientists brout back a wooly mammoth?

No, nobody has ever cloned an extinct animal from DNA.


Why did dolly didn't have any kids?

Dolly was born on 5 July 1996 to three mothers (one provided the egg, another the DNA and a third carried the cloned embryo to term).


DNA samples taken from Dolly and the sheep that donated the body cell would show what patterns of bands on an electrophoresis gel?

DNA samples taken from Dolly and the sheep that donated the body cell showed the same patterns of bands on an electrophoresis gel. Dolly became the first cloned mammal which then led to the cloning of pigs, dogs, and mice.


Could two animals ever have the same DNA?

Yes, Dolly the sheep was the first mammal to be cloned. See Sources and Related Links for more information.

Dolly was identical in every way to her clone


How many mothers did dolly the sheep have?

Three mothers( (one provided the egg, another the DNA and a third carried the cloned embryo to term).
