40、II 閱讀測驗 66-70題 10% Because Dollys genetic material came from a 6-year-old sheep, questions have always been asked about her “true” age. In 1999, some of the scientists who created Dolly studied her genetics. They found that structures in her cells called telomeres were slightly shorter than would be

41、 expected in a sheep of her age conceived naturally so in a way Dollys DNA was older than her body. Scientists realized then that Dolly might die young. At 15:30 on Friday 14 February 2003, scientists at the Roslin Institute decided that Dolly, the worlds most famous sheep, should be put down. She h

42、ad been suffering from a progressive lung disease. Sheep can live to 11 or 12 years of age, and lung infections are common in older sheep, particularly those housed indoors.

44、 and had given birth to four healthy lambs. It took hundreds of attempts to produce Dolly and, even now, the cloning process is far from perfect. Dollys arthritis and now relatively young death fuel concerns that even clones appearing healthy at birth may have underlying genetic abnormalities. But a
