The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to analyze both the assertion and the reason provided. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Assertion**: - The assertion states that "Dolly was the first mammal to be cloned from a mammary cell." - This statement is true. Dolly the sheep was indeed the first mammal to be cloned from a somatic (mammary) cell. 2. **Understanding the Reason**: - The reason states that "to create Dolly, the Finn Dorset ewe, Ian Wilmut and Keith Campbell used aid from two mothers." - This statement is false. In fact, three mothers were involved in the cloning process. 3. **Identifying the Mothers**: - The first mother provided the mammary cell (the Finn Dorset ewe). - The second mother provided the egg cell (the Scottish Blackface ewe). - The third mother acted as the surrogate, carrying Dolly to term. 4. **Conclusion**: - Since the assertion is true and the reason is false, the correct conclusion is that the assertion is true but the reason is false. ### Final Answer: The assertion is true, but the reason is false.
