Dolly was a clone of Sheep A because that is where the DNA was from.


How much did it cost to clone dolly?

I saw off a website that when the cloned dolly it cost around $50,000. Also for more information it costs 1.7 million dollars to clone a human and that is the minimum cost.

For people with religious beliefs and others against cloning, this seems a grand waste of money.

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.
