Detailed Solution for Test: Transgenic Animals & Ethical Issues (February 3) - Question 4

Dolly, the sheep, was cloned in 1997, Ian wilmur and his colleagues at the Roslin Research Scotland, took cells from ewe (mother sheep’s udder) They stored these udder cells in low nutrient culture. This stopped the starved cells from dividing switched of their active genes. One compete udder cell with its nucleus was selected, because its nucleus carries the mother's genetic information in the mean time, an unfertilised egg cell was taken from a different ewe. Its nucleus was removed leaving an empty cell containing all the essential machinery to produce an embryo. They then fused udder cell nucleus with the empty egg cell by electrical stimulation. The altered egg was cultured for six days.
Out of many resulting embryos, one was implanted in the uterus of the surrogate mother, where it grew into a lamb, So Dolly was born, genetically identical to mother sheep because her first cell nucleus came from mother’s cell. Dolly's birth proved that adult cells could acquire the cloning potential of embryonic cells.
