How can you all be genetically different from each other if the genetic code is universal?

for the same reason books are different even though they are written in a universal code the code is arranged differently in different books.

Are twins genetic copies of each other?
They can share some DNA, since your mother/father was involved in them.
How offspring of sexual reproduction compare genetically to each other?
different
Are gametes produced in meiosis identical to each other but different from parent cell?
No. Each gamete is genetically different from the other gametes and from the parent cell.
Explain why the daughter cells produced by meiosis are genetically different from each other?
meiosis copies nd the other one does not
What event or events occur during meiosis to make each resulting gamete genetically non-identical?
Basically this event is called [genetic] Recombination. Other examples exist.
What types of diseases can be predicted with genetic tests?
Genetically inheriting diseases can be found. Other diseases are not genetic

How offspring of sexual reproduction compare genetically to each other?
different
In sexual reproduction offspring are genetically different from the parents. This is because?
Each parent contributes only half of their genetic material to the offspring and the merging of genetic material from each parent may result in a traits different from what the generic material invoked in each parent.
Are gametes produced in meiosis identical to each other but different from parent cell?
No. Each gamete is genetically different from the other gametes and from the parent cell.
Why are genetically modified organism beneficial?
Genetically modified organisms are modified on a genetic level to benefit humans. How this can pose a threat to a population or ecosystem, is that if the genetically modified organism were to somehow create a mutation, and pass that on, it could be damaging to the future generations in reducing their health or other issues may arise. It can also be damaging to an ecosystem if a genetically modified organism were to escape into a wild population and change it.
Explain why the daughter cells produced by meiosis are genetically different from each other?
meiosis copies nd the other one does not
How are dolphins and sharks different from each other genetically?
Dolphins are mammals. Sharks are fish. They are very different, though both are vertebrates.
What is X-linkage?
Genetic linkage is the tendency of genes that are located proximal to each other on a chromosome to be inherited together during meiosis. Genes whose loci are nearer to each other are less likely to be separated onto different chromatids during chromosomal crossover, and are therefore said to be genetically linked.
What event or events occur during meiosis to make each resulting gamete genetically non-identical?
Basically this event is called [genetic] Recombination. Other examples exist.
What characteristics humans possess that is different than other organisms?
Individuals are genetically unique, meaning they contain genetic variation generated during recombination and chromosome assortment (and mutation) during the process of meiosis. So, each individual has a slightly different complement of genetic information. This may lead to different patterns of functionality (e.g., gene expression) under different circumstances ultimately leading to differences in appearance or responses to environmental conditions.
Are boys and girls genetically different?
Yes, everybody is genetically different. Also humans (and other mammals) have sex chromosomes, two of which are normally present in female cells (designated XX) and only one in male cells (designated XY).
