Dolly (ഡോളി)

Explanation:

Dolly the sheep, born on February 5, 1997, was the first animal cloned from an adult mammal cell, a groundbreaking achievement by Ian Wilmut and his team at the Roslin Institute in Scotland. This milestone challenged the belief that cloning from adult cells was impossible, as previous cloning efforts only involved embryonic cells.

Despite initial skepticism about her origins, subsequent analyses confirmed her status as a true clone of the adult sheep from which her DNA was derived.
