This is Dolly. She was first cloned from an adult cell and was born February 22, 1997. Dolly is considered the world's introduction to cloning, but died at only six. It's questioned whether she died because she received a disease from the cloning, or whether she died of old age; six isn't old for a sheep, however she //was// cloned from an already six-year-old sheep, making her 12. Above is a strand of DNA. You see how certain letters connect to only one other letter? Here's a Voki to explain why it's like that!

**__Genetic Engineering__** Have you ever wondered about how farmers get great foods and produce? They genetically engineer their fruits. That means they take other organisms with those desired traits and breed them together to get just what they were hoping for. For example, strawberries freeze very easily in their harvest time, so farmers would lose too much of their strawberry crops. Scientists have found that peanuts contain a specific trait that makes them less vulnerable to the frost. They've been crossing strawberries with peanuts so they won't freeze, however this might have consequences to those with peanut allergies because this gene so happens to be the trait that causes allergic reaction in peanuts. **__Sexual Reproduction vs. Asexual Reproduction__** What's the difference between sexual and asexual reproduction? Well, sexual reproduction involves two parents while asexual reproduction only involves one. There are different types of asexual reproduction like budding and binary fission. Organisms such as fungi and bacteria use asexual reproduction while animals and most plants and protists reproduce sexually. **__BIBLIOGRAPHY:__** "Article of the Week - Dolly the Sheep." //Article of the Week - Dolly the Sheep//.
