Figure 10.7 Why was Dolly a Finn-Dorset and not a Scottish Blackface sheep?
Expert Solution & Answer
Summary Introduction
To determine:
Dolly is a Fin-Dorset, not a Scottish Blackface sheep.
Introduction:
Dolly was the first recombinant cloned sheep that was produced by transferring the genetic material from somatic cells of a Fin-Dorset sheep into the egg cells of a Scottish Blackfire sheep.
Explanation of Solution
The genetic material is responsible for the characteristics or phenotype of an organism. The proteins are translated from the genetic material, which ensures the pleasures expressed in it. Since, the genetic material in Dolly sheep was from a Finn-Dorset it has its characteristics. The Scottish Blackface sheep only provided an empty egg cell and its uterus as a surrogate mother.
Conclusion
The genetic material in Dolly sheep came from a Finn-Dorset and therefore, it has the characteristics of Finn-Dorset and not Scottish Blackface sheep.
