The cell used as the donor for the cloning of Dolly was taken from a [[mammary gland]], and the production of a healthy clone, therefore, proved that a cell taken from a specific part of the body could recreate a whole individual. On Dolly's name, Wilmut stated "Dolly is derived from a mammary gland cell and we couldn't think of a more impressive pair of glands than [[Dolly Parton]]'s."<ref name="BBC-97">{{cite news | url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/onthisday/hi/dates/stories/february/22/newsid_4245000/4245877.stm | work=BBC News | title=1997: Dolly the sheep is cloned | date=22 February 1997 | access-date=1 December 2010 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080307132931/http://news.bbc.co.uk/onthisday/hi/dates/stories/february/22/newsid_4245000/4245877.stm | archive-date=7 March 2008 | url-status=live }}</ref>
