cells Dolly came from. Because the clones are from the same cells, it makes them almost the same sheep (1) This means that her supposed “sister clones” could have the same problems as Dolly.

About four billion of the people in the world have cellular phones. Although smartphones prove incredibly useful when it comes to connecting with others and providing engagement, the cons of using these daily devices override the pros by a landslide.
