Creation of Dolly: Dolly, the first cloned sheep, was created using somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT). An udder cell nucleus from a donor sheep was transferred into an enucleated egg cell, which was then implanted into a surrogate mother.
Importance: Demonstrated that adult somatic cells can be reprogrammed to develop into a whole organism, proving the potential for cloning and advancing research in developmental biology and regenerative medicine.
