Detailed explanation-1: -Dolly, female Finn Dorset sheep that lived from 1996 to 2003, the first clone of an adult mammal, produced by British developmental biologist Ian Wilmut and colleagues of the Roslin Institute, near Edinburgh, Scotland.
Detailed explanation-2: -Once normal development was confirmed in a lab at six days, the embryo was transferred into a surrogate mother. Dolly was then born on 5 July 1996 and named after the country western singer Dolly Parton.
Detailed explanation-3: -Her caretakers at the Roslin Institute in Scotland euthanized the 6-year-old sheep after diagnosing an incurable lung tumor. Her death seems unconnected to the fact that she was a clone; the tumor is caused by a virus that had infected both cloned and normal sheep at the institute.
