The cloning of Dolly the sheep took place at the Roslin Institute in Edinburgh, Scotland. The groundbreaking procedure, which involved somatic cell nuclear transfer, was completed in 1996. Dolly was the first mammal to be cloned from an adult somatic cell, marking a significant milestone in genetic research and biotechnology.
Dolly was identical in every way to her clone
The first cloned sheep was named Dolly after the famous singer Dolly Parton. The researchers at the Roslin Institute chose the name because the cell used for cloning was derived from a mammary gland, and they humorously associated it with Dolly Parton’s well-known attributes. Dolly was born on July 5, 1996, and her cloning represented a significant scientific breakthrough in the field of genetics.
The second animal to be cloned after Dolly the sheep was a cow in Japan. In 1998 the twin calves were born cloned from a donor cow. The Japanese scientist were looking into cloning to improve their cattle stains.
Dolly's creator was primarily interested in cloning as a better way to make drugs. Ian Wilmut's sponsor, PPL Therapeutics Ltd., had proven that sheep which were genetically engineered could make certain drugs in their milk. If the sheep could be cloned, they could build a herd of drug producing sheep.
Poly, the second sheep clone created in 1997, differed from Dolly primarily in the method of creation and genetic material used. While Dolly was cloned from a mature somatic cell, Poly was derived from a different type of cell, specifically a fetal fibroblast cell, which is thought to have contributed to fewer health issues. Additionally, Poly was born as a result of a different cloning technique, which aimed to improve the efficiency and success rate of cloning. These differences highlight advancements in cloning technology since Dolly's creation.
dolly (the sheep) is a clone of another sheep

Science
Scientists have cloned sheep, dogs, and cats. Dolly the sheep was cloned in 1997. Cloning can happen naturally as with identical twins.
Through cloning of another sheep.
well dolly was the sheep produced after cloning so it was not natural.It was produced artificially
Cloning
Animal cloning started about 10 years ago, with Dolly the Sheep.

No, Ian Wilmut did not call cloning "cloning." He is known for his work in cloning Dolly the sheep, the first mammal cloned from an adult somatic cell, but the term "cloning" was used to describe the process before his work.

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.
