According to what I've read, a cell undergoes 40 to 60 divisions before it finally dies. One article says, 80 divisions. I do not know which one is correct. This has something to do with the telomeres at the end of DNA helix strands which become shorter every time a cell divides. Once the telomere is exhausted, the cell dies, or continues to mutate leading to cancer when the cell produces telomerase which lengthens the telomere to continue cell division indefinitely.

Why did Dolly die after one year?
Dolly was "created" using cells from an adult animal. There is some speculation that these older cells had shorter telomere chains. These chains shorten with every cell division and count down the number of divisions a cell can make before it dies. Even though she was considered a lamb, her body was trying to use cells that were already quite old and couldn't provide the number of cell divisions necessary to see her have along life.
