What kind of cells was used to make Dolly?

Dolly the cloned sheep was the first example of an animal cloned with DNA from a somatic cell (a cell which is not a gamete/sex cell). Specifically, Dolly was cloned from a cell of a sheep's mammary gland.However, the complete somatic cell itself was not a part of the embryo that became Dolly. Instead, scientists removed the DNA from an unfertilized sheep oocyte (a precursor to an egg) and inserted the DNA taken from the mammary gland cell in its place. This meant that only the nucleus from the mammary gland cell was actually used to create Dolly.


What is the hormone of the alveoli of the mammary glands that secrete milks?

The hormone responsible for milk secretion in the alveoli of the mammary glands is prolactin. Prolactin is produced by the pituitary gland and stimulates the mammary glands to produce milk following childbirth. Additionally, the hormone oxytocin plays a crucial role in milk ejection during breastfeeding by causing the contraction of myoepithelial cells surrounding the alveoli.

How does mammary growth during lactation contribute to the production of breast milk?

During lactation, mammary growth increases the number and size of milk-producing cells in the breast. This growth is stimulated by hormones like prolactin and oxytocin. The increased number of milk-producing cells allows for more milk to be produced and stored in the breast, leading to a higher milk supply for the baby.
