Was dolly the name of the sheep that was cloned?

Answer 1

The person who cloned dolly was a scientist named Ian Wilmut, with Keith Campbell, however he had a team who helped him to create dolly in Edinburgh. Dolly was about 6 1/2 years old at the time they had to put her down from developing a disease, and Arthritis in her hind legs.

Answer 2

Yes. 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.

Answer 3

Dolly the Sheep was an experiment and because that experiment took place technology is now open to many things, horses are now being cloned etc. A broad explanation for this procedure is an udder cell was taken from a Dorset white sheep cells were altered to function but not to grow, the nucleus was then removed and placed into an unfertilized egg cell (taken from a Scottish black faced ewe), they were fused together using low electrical pulses. The cell was grown for about 6-7 days to ensure that it divided normally, than implanted into a surrogate mother (another Scottish black faced ewe).

Answer 4

Because the cell Dolly was made from came from a mammary gland, she was named after the famously busty country and western singer Dolly Parton, by Ian Wilmut, Keith Campbell and colleagues at the Roslin Institute in Edinburgh, Scotland.

Answer 5

Dolly was not the first animal to be cloned. Scientists have been cloning animals for many years. In 1952, the first animal, a tadpole, was cloned. Before the creation of Dolly, the first mammal cloned from the cell of an adult animal, clones were created from embryonic cells. Since Dolly, researchers have cloned a number of large and small animals including sheep, goats, cows, mice, pigs, cats, rabbits, and a gaur.

Answer 6

yes. Dolly was cloned by taking the nucleus of a mammary cell and placing it into the egg cell of a different sheep. the cell was then placed into a surrogate mother and given a shock of electricity, successfully cloning into the sheep the nucleus was taken from

Answer 7

Dolly the sheep was named after Dolly Parton the famous country singer because Dolly the sheep was cloned from mammary cells

Answer 8

Dolly Parton
