The Woolly Mammoth is extinct species, which lived during the Pleistocene period. The scientist discovered the mammoth DNA from the fossils found in Siberian permafrost.
The scientist discovered the fossils of the mammoth as:
1. The wooly mammoth resembled modern-day elephants. Scientists have discovered the greatest genome of all time, which can help them to understand the lineage, and evolution of mammoths.
2. The scientist is trying to create the woolly mammoth by the process known as cloning. The process of somatic cell nuclear transfer will be performed to produce the mammoth.
Thus, the scientist will use elephants cells to clone the mammoth, which will help in understanding their genome and characteristics.
