This same technique was used to create dolly the sheep, the first cloned mammal, in 1996. dolly was developed from an egg cell taken from a scottish blackface ewe (female sheep) and the nucleus of a mammary cell from a white finn-dorset ewe. her surrogate mother was another scottish blackface ewe. what type of sheep was dolly?

Dolly was a female fin Dorset sheep,
Although it has been claimed that dolly had 3 mothers. one provided the egg, another the DNA, and a third carried the cloned embryo to term.
So therefore, dolly has the genes of different species of sheeps.

Hope this helped!
