Dolly, herself

http://oracleformsinfo.files.wordpress.com/2012/03/clone.jpg Dolly the sheep, who became famous as the first mammal to be cloned from an adult cell, has died. The news was confirmed on Friday by the Roslin Institute, the Scottish research centre which created her.

A decision was taken to "euthanize" six-year-old Dolly after a veterinary examination showed that she had a progressive lung disease, the institute said in a statement. Dolly became the first mammal clone when she was born on 5 July 1996. She was revealed to the public the following year.

are a clone of your original fertilized egg!

Are cloned cells identical?

-- genetically?

-- functionally?

How? Why? Why not? Dolly & her baby – so Dolly was fertile

Fertility is a common measure of whether a genome is really complete
