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.
Dolly the Sheep was named after Dolly Parton because the cell that was taken from the sheep to clone Dolly the sheep was a mamary gland cell, since Dolly Parton is known for her boobs Dolly was the natural choice.

He cloned a sheep named Dolly.
Scientists clone Dolly the sheep
In 1996, the sheep named Dolly was the first cloned mammal. She was grown at the Roslin Institute near Edinburgh, Scotland, by a team of genetic scientists headed by Ian Wilmut and Keith Campbell. Transplanted into a surrogate mother sheep as a blastocyst, she was born on July 5, 1996 and lived until 2003.
in 1996 scientists cloned the first sheep. the sheeps name was dolly.
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.
Genetic cloning of animals; Dolly the sheep was produced as an exact replica of her mother through taking the mother nucleus of her egg, implanting it into another sheeps egg with no nucleus and then that fertilised egg being placed in a surrogate mother sheep.
The scientists name was Ian wilmut!
In 1995 a group of scientists at the Roslin Institute in Edinburgh were looking for a way to modify farm animals genetically.Dolly was an economic decision, the farm she was cloned on was looking for Dolly to carry a human protein in her milk that would help combat diseases.
Ian Wilmut, Keith Campbell and their colleagues at The Roslin Institute in Edinburgh, Scotland made Dolly the sheep.
