The DNA of identical twins and of clones is, apart from random, environmentally produced mutations, 100% identical. The only difference is that clones are produced on purpose through advanced bioengineering techniques while identical twins happen as an accident of nature. Identical twins are, in a sense, natural clones.
What else can I help you with?
What percent of genetic makeup is shared by identical twins?
100%Identical twins develop from the same egg, so have the same DNA. The only thing different between identical twins is finger prints, and retinal patterns.
Differences between identical and fraternal?
identical twins are from the same egg cell that split, but ferternal twins are from 2 entirely different fertilized egg cells. Thus identical look the same and ferternal can look entirely different.
Who are clones fraternal twins or identical twins?
Identical twins, due to the fact that the one fertilized egg splits, have identical DNA. Fraternal twins, since they are from separate eggs, have different DNA.
Why are identical twins identical and fraternal twins are not?
Identical twins are formed from a single egg that splits into two. Fraternal twins are formed from two separate eggs that are both separately fertilized. So identical twins have identical DNA, and fraternal twins do not.
Are paternal twins identical?
I dont think there is such a thing as paternal twins...perhaps you are thinking of fraternal twins. In that case, they are not identical twins, they do not look the same and they can be different sexes.
Do identical twins develop from two different eggs that are fertilized by different sperm?
No, fraternal twins do.
Are twins born with different DNA?
Yes EVERYBODY has different DNA even if you are identical twins.
Why wont the babies look the same if identical twins have babies with identical twins?
Because the mother identical twins each have a different husband . . . half of his characteristics show up in their babies.
Why are some twins identical and some not?
The reason why some twins are identical and some are not starts in utero. Identical twins occur when one egg is fertilized and it splits to create two embryos. Nonidentical twins come from different fertilized eggs.
How identical twins can be different when they have the same DNA?
Because they separated into separate beings early in the cell division process. After that, a quadrillion factors are involved in the minuscule differences all along the development process. This is how they become different people.
Why Can fraternal twins be different gender but identical twins are always the same gender?
fraternal twins have two different chromosomes
What is the name for twins that look different?
Paternal Non-Identical fraternal twins
