They took an udder cell nucleus, that was diploid, from a different sheep (Mom 2). They inserted the nucleus into the egg cell and made this new cell undergo mitosis. They implanted the dividing cell into a surrogate mother (MOM 3). Several months later, Dolly was born. Dolly was actually a clone of which sheep?

A) a phytochrome molecule that is activated by red light B) a protein that is synthesized in leaves, travels to the shoot apical meristems, and initiates flowering C) a membrane signal that travels through the symplast from leaves to buds D) a second messenger that induces Ca++ ions to change membrane potential E) a transcription factor that controls the activation of florigen-specific genes
