.. dolly the sheep;)



1- Dolly was an ewe, that was the first animal to be cloned from an adult somatic cell.
2- She was cloned by Ian Wilmut + Keith Campbell.
3- She was born on July 5th 1996 + lived until the age of six.
4- The cell used as the donor for the cloning of Dolly was taken from a mammary gland, and the production of a healthy clone therefore proved that a cell taken from a specific body part could recreate a whole individual.
