Cloned predecessor to Dolly the sheep goes on permanent show at museum

A cloned sheep that helped pave the way for the creation of Dolly the sheep has gone on show at a rural life museum.

Morag and her identical twin Megan were cloned from the same embryo and were the first mammals to be successfully cloned from differentiated cells.

Their births in June 1995 at the Roslin Institute in Edinburgh were hailed as a technical breakthrough and made the birth of Dolly the sheep the following year possible.
