Answer 1

The correct answer is d: It opened the door to the idea of cloning other animals.

The cloning of Dolly the sheep in 1996 was a significant milestone in genetic science, demonstrating that it was possible to create a clone from an adult somatic cell. This breakthrough not only sparked interest in cloning other animals but also raised ethical and philosophical questions about the implications of cloning in both animals and humans.
