Answer 2

Dolly the sheep was cloned from mammary gland cells. (Option b)

• Dolly (1996-2003), the sheep was the very first adult mammal clone.
• Dolly was created by the biologist Ian Wilmut along with his colleagues at Roslin Institute, Scotland.
• It was a milestone in the field of mammalian cloning technology.
• Dolly was cloned using a cell taken from the mammary gland of an adult sheep breed called the Finn Dorset ewe (half Finnish and half Dorset breed of sheep).
• The technique used for this is currently referred to as the somatic cell nuclear transfer.
