Homonym: Dolly (Doll)
Dolly was a famous sheep that made history as the first mammal to be cloned from an adult cell. She was born in 1996 at the Roslin Institute in Scotland. Scientists took a cell from an adult sheep's udder and used it to create Dolly, which showed that it was possible to create a new organism from a fully developed cell. This groundbreaking achievement sparked discussions about cloning and its ethical implications.
Dolly lived for six years and had several lambs, proving that cloned animals could reproduce. Her existence opened new doors in genetic research and raised questions about cloning in humans and other species. Dolly's legacy continues to influence science today.
