When did they make a clone sheep?

Dolly the sheep was born on July 5, 1996. She is considered to be the first true cloned sheep because she came from introducing genes from another sheep directly into an unfertilized egg. The same genetics team who made Dolly had cloned an adult sheep in 1995 by using an already fertilized embryo.


What is the name of the first cloned sheep?

The first sheep cloned from differentiated cells were Megan and Morag in 1995 at the Roslin Institute, called 5LL2 and 5LL5 at birth. Contrary to popular belief, Dolly the sheep was not the first cloned sheep, but the first one cloned from AN ADULT CELL, in 1996. Dr. Steen Willadsen however, appears to have been the first to clone a sheep back in 1984, however he used immature embryonic cells.


What year was Dolly the Sheep cloned?

The process of cloning dolly the sheep was started by taking a cell from the mammary gland of Sheep A. The cells nucleus was then removed and placed into an egg cell from Sheep B. (The egg cell form Sheep B had its nucleus removed). The cell was then implanted into a surrogate mother, Sheep B, and given a jolt of electricity. Dolly was a clone of Sheep A because that is where the DNA was from.

How does a cloned sheep compare genetically to sheep that is made using sexual reproduction?

To answer this correctly, you need to know how the sheep are related. Is the parent of the cloned sheep one of the parents to the sheep that is produced sexually? If so, the two sheep would have half the numbers of genes in common. If not, they would be even less related and have fewer genes in common. Both would have the genes that make them sheep in common.
