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 and the sheep from which she was cloned have the same genes because Dolly was cloned using the genetic material from the donor sheep's somatic cell. The genetic material in both animals is identical, as Dolly's DNA was derived from the donor sheep's DNA.
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.
Dolly was cloned in 1996 and was the first cloned mammal. Dolly died in 2003 at the age of six.
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.

Dolly
The name Dolly has come to be associated with cloning animals. Dolly is the name of the sheep that was the first animal cloned.
The first cloned sheep was named Dolly. She was cloned from an adult somatic cell by researchers at the Roslin Institute in Scotland and was born in 1996.
Dolly
dolly
the name of the first cloned sheep is Dolly
Sheep. Dolly showed signs of early aging.
Dolly the sheep
in 1996 scientists cloned the first sheep. the sheeps name was 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.
it was said that dolly the sheep was cloned in a farm
