No, the fact that older genes would be expected to have suffered
more breaks and degradations of information. Remember that a lot
of the trials did not succeed in growing a clone at all. And Dolly
WAS born young, as a lamb, with sexual characteristics as of yet
undeveloped; she just, due to the genetic degradation one might
expect in an older cell, aged more quickly, and in keeping with the
way older celles will (multiple breaks tend to reinforce errors in a
synergistic fashion and combat genetic informational redundancy).

I'm sure that she didn't demonstrate acquired characteristics
flowing through morphic fields from the donor sheep, if that's what
you're Lamarckianly intimating.
