The first cloned mammal

1997 was the first mammal cloned. Ian Walmut was the name of the leader of the cloning, and it took place on Roslin Institute in Edinburgh. The meaning of this cloning was to create the perfect breeding sheep. The sheep they created was called Dolly. Dolly was named after the country singer Dolly Parton, because it was cloned by an adult goat’s breast web and a fertilized egg.

What did the scientists do??

The scientists took a fertilized egg from a sheep and added gens from another specie of a sheep. The cells were affected by low voltage, so the membranes would open and the gens could enter and then they melted together. (Like we did in an assignment in biotechnology, where we used virtual lab.) The cells, which received the gens from the other sheep, where placed in uterus of a sheep. Month after Dolly was born and she was healthy and lively.
