Question

Read the newspaper article and answer the questions that follow. A copying machine for living beings? Without any doubt, if there had been elections for the animal of the year 1997, Dolly would have been the winner! Dolly is a Scottish sheep that you see in the 5 photo. But Dolly is not just a simple sheep. She is a clone of another sheep. A clone means: a copy. Cloning means copying ‘from a single master copy’. Scientists succeeded in creating a sheep (Dolly) that 10 is identical to a sheep that functioned as a ‘master copy’.It was the Scottish scientist Ian Wilmut
who designed the ‘copying machine’ for
sheep. He took a very small piece from the
15 udder of an adult sheep (sheep 1).
From that small piece he removed the
nucleus, then he transferred the nucleus
into the egg-cell of another (female) sheep
(sheep 2). But first he removed from that
20 egg-cell all the material that would have
determined sheep 2 characteristics in a
lamb produced from that egg-cell. Ian
Wilmut implanted the manipulated egg-
cell of sheep 2 into yet another (female)
25 sheep (sheep 3). Sheep 3 became pregnant
and had a lamb: Dolly.
Some scientists think that within a few
years it will be possible to clone people as
well. But many governments have already
30 decided to forbid cloning of people by law.Question 1: CLONING
Which sheep is Dolly identical to?

Sheep 1

Sheep 2

Sheep 3

Dolly’s father
2
2
Question 2: CLONING
In line 14 the part of the udder that was used is described as “a very small piece”.
From the article text you can work out what is meant by “a very small piece”.
That “very small piece” is

a cell

a gene

a cell nucleus

chromosomeQuestion 3: CLONING
In the last sentence of the article it is stated that many governments have already
decided to forbid cloning of people by law.
Two possible reasons for this decision are mentioned below.
Are these reasons scientific reasons?
Circle either “Yes” or “No” for each.
Reason: Scientific?
Cloned people could be more sensitive to certain diseases than
normal people. Yes / No
People should not take over the role of a Creator. Yes / No

YES, No

No, No

No, YES

Yes yes​
