Correct Answer: C. Sheep

The first animal successfully cloned from an adult somatic cell was Dolly the Sheep. She was born on July 5, 1996, at the Roslin Institute in Scotland, marking a significant breakthrough in genetic engineering and reproductive science. Dolly's creation demonstrated that a specialized adult cell could be used to create an entire organism.

  • While other animals like goats, dogs, and cows have been successfully cloned since Dolly, she holds the historical distinction as the first mammal cloned from an adult cell.
