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

Yes, Dolly was the name of the sheep that was the first mammal to be cloned from an adult somatic cell using the process of nuclear transfer. Dolly was born in 1996 and gained worldwide fame for this groundbreaking achievement in genetics and Biology.

Answer 8

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

Answer 9

Dolly Parton
