Consider the following statements: 1. Adam Osborne produced the first portable computer. 2. Ian Wilmut created the first cloned sheep. Which of the statements given above is/ are correct?

Both statements are correct. Adam Osborne developed and released the Osborne 1 in early 1981, which is widely credited as the first commercially successful portable (or “luggable”) computer produced by Osborne Computer Corporation. Ian Wilmut was a lead researcher at the Roslin Institute and a principal member of the team that created Dolly, the first mammal cloned from an adult somatic cell, born in 1996 using somatic cell nuclear transfer techniques [1]. These historical recognitions—Osborne for the Osborne 1 and Wilmut for Dolly—are established milestones in computing and cloning history respectively [1].
