Asexual reproduction in sheep

Explanation:

  • Dolly sheep is the first mammal who is cloned by a somatic cell, died Feb. 14, 2003 from a progressive lung disease unrelated to her having been cloned, after having lived almost 7 years.

  • Dolly had been cloned from a sample cell of a salivary gland that was already six years old. She experienced premature aging and severe arthritis as a result.

  • Her taxidermist remains are on permanent display at the National Museum of Scotland in Edinburgh.

  • Cloning has a success rate of as low as 9% viable clones, up to 25% in the case of laboratory mice.

  • The technique is still prohibitively expensive to make it commercially viable (i.e., cloning food animals such as cattle or sheep) and not nearly reliable enough.
