What are the British scientists Sir Ian Wilmot and Keith Campbell famous for?
Correct Answer: The cloning of the first mammal, Dolly the sheep
Sir Ian Wilmut and Keith Campbell are British scientists famous for leading the team at the Roslin Institute near Edinburgh that successfully cloned Dolly the sheep in 1996.

The achievement was a landmark moment in biological science and sparked international debate about the ethics of cloning. Dolly was named after the singer Dolly Parton.
