What is genetic uniformity?

Genetic uniformity is described as all of the individuals in a population as being identical. This works the same for species other than humans.


What do you call clones in the human population?

In the human population, clones are referred to as identical twins. Identical twins occur naturally when a fertilized egg splits into two separate embryos, resulting in two individuals with the same genetic makeup. Cloning, on the other hand, refers to the artificial creation of an identical copy of an organism.


Why is DNA evidence difficult to refute in court?

No two individuals, other than identical twins, have the same DNA.


Are cloned individuals genetically identical to each other?

What do you learn from identifications of individuals and population?

What is an ecological population?

Why do identical genoms have different structures and functions?

On one hand you say identical and on other hand you say difference in the structure. Identical means the human genome. But every human being is different, except the identical twins. You get half genes from the mother and half from the father. There are enough permutations and combinations to give you different individuals. The difference in structures result in difference in functions.


What are Darwin's four postulates?

1. There is variation in individuals within a species 2. Variation ensures that individuals that are better suited to their environment will survive. 3. Traits that assist individuals in survival and allow them to reprduce gradually spread throughout population. 4. Individuals produce more offspring than the local resources can support.


In a set of triplets how can two be identical and the other not like the two?

In triplets you could have 3 individuals that came from 3 separate eggs or you could theoretically have 2 eggs fertilized and one of the eggs split in two giving a set of identical twins and the other egg would give you triplets. Theoretically you can have identical triplets, if one of the eggs decided to split a second time (this would be a VERY rare occurance). In that case all of the babies would be identical. In triplets you you can have three individuals that came from three separate eggs, or you could have two eggs fertilized, and one of the eggs splitting to make identical twins while the other egg would give you triplets. If one of the eggs decided to split a second time this would result in identical triplets. [Identical triplets are very rare] only 1 in 1000 triplet births are identical.


Why do you scream at each other?
