1. The cloned lamb, named Dolly, has the exact same genes as the adult sheep from which she was cloned. 2. Instead of using early-stage embryo cells, Wilmut used cells from the udder of an adult sheep. 3. Then he went ahead to clone an adult sheep. 4. The occasional outbreaks of Type II ostertagiasis in young adult sheep in the spring may be treated with the same anthelmintics. 5. Among the witnesses Wednesday was Dr. Ian Wilmut, the Scottish scientist who stunned the world last month when he announced that he had cloned an adult sheep. 6. Among the witnesses was Dr. Ian Wilmut, the Scottish scientist who stunned the world last month when he announced that he had cloned an adult sheep. 7. He took a mammary cell from an adult sheep and prepared its DNA so it would be accepted by an egg from another sheep. 8. In open pastures, sheep are typically raised at a ratio of about two to four adult sheep per acre, Henry said. 9. Next, Wilmut expects to add genes to the cultured adult sheep cells to turn them into miniature factories churning out pharmacologically useful proteins. 10. Stem cells could also be harvested from embryos created for the purpose by nuclear transplantation, the method that generated Dolly the lamb from cells of an adult sheep. |
