The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding Cloning**: Cloning is a biotechnological technique that involves creating a genetically identical copy of an organism. This process can be done using somatic cells, which are any cells of the body except sperm and egg cells. 2. **Identifying the Subject**: The question refers to "Dolly," the first cloned sheep, which was created in 1996. Dolly was significant because she was the first mammal to be cloned from an adult somatic cell. 3. **Source of Somatic Cells**: To clone Dolly, scientists used somatic cells from a donor. The question asks which specific type of somatic cells were used. 4. **Options Analysis**: The options provided are: - A) Products - B) Skin - C) Tongue - D) Earlobe 5. **Correct Answer**: The correct answer is B) Skin. Dolly was cloned using somatic cells taken from the udder of a sheep, which is a type of skin tissue. 6. **Conclusion**: Therefore, the correct answer to the question is that Dolly was cloned using somatic cells from the donor's skin. ---
