Question

Dolly was the first cloned sheep that was similar to the Finn Dorset sheep.

• A. False
• B. True

Answer 1

The correct option is B True

• To clone Dolly, two different breeds of sheep were chosen, Scottish Blackface and Finn Dorset.
• During the process of cloning Dolly, an egg was obtained from a Scottish Blackface sheep and a cell was collected from the mammary gland of Finn Dorset sheep.
• The nucleus was removed from the egg cell obtained from the Scottish Blackface.
• The nucleus from the mammary gland cell of the Finn Dorset was then inserted in the egg cell.
• Thus, Dolly was a clone of Finn Dorset.
