Dolly the sheep was the first mammal cloned from an adult cell, born in July 1996. Her creation was a scientific breakthrough, proving that specialized cells could create an exact copy of the animal they originated from. Dolly was named after country music legend Dolly Parton. Scientists at the Roslin Institute in Scotland created Dolly by replacing the nucleus of an egg cell from a Scottish Blackface sheep with the nucleus of an adult udder cell from a Finn Dorset sheep.
