It is possible for plants that have identical genetic make-up to show differences due to genetic causes of variation such as mutations,meiosis and sexual reproduction and environmental causes of variation such as nutrients,and temperature.

they are genetically identical - clones


What is the difference in an animal cells mitochondrion and a plant cells mitochondrion?

There is no difference. Mitochondria are functionally and structurally identical in all eukaryotes.


What does genetically identical individuals mean?

Genetically identical individuals refer to organisms that have the same genetic makeup, typically arising from asexual reproduction or identical twinning. These individuals have identical sets of genes, making them clones of each other. Examples include identical twins and certain plant propagation methods like tissue culture.


How does mitosis ensure that a new plant cell is identical to its parents?

Mitosis ensure that a new cell is identical to its parents by their copy of the parent's genome in mitosis. Identical genetic information will result in identical cells.


What is a plant or animal that is an exact duplicate of another?

A genetically-identical organism would be called a clone, although this now has a connotation of an artificially created genetic copy.

Why the seed that develops is likely to grow into a plant that is similar but not identical to its parent plants?

The seed that develops is likely to grow into a plant similar but not identical to its parent plants due to genetic variation and the process of sexual reproduction. During fertilization, genetic material from two parent plants combines, leading to offspring that inherit a mix of traits. Additionally, environmental factors during growth can further influence the expression of these traits, resulting in variations even among sibling plants. This genetic diversity is crucial for adaptation and evolution within plant populations.


Disadvantages of budding?

budding does not allow any type of genetic variation. The new generation is naturally genetically identical to the primary one(clone) so as with binary fission there is not as much genetic variation in offspring as occurs with sexual reproduction.


What will happen if a plant DNA was mixed on human DNA?

Mixing plant DNA with human DNA is not possible through natural means. Even if it were possible, the outcome would likely be non-viable or result in severe genetic abnormalities due to the vast differences in genetic makeup and biological processes between plants and animals.


What is the difference between a fruiting body and a vegetative body?

A fruiting body is essentially a plant's ovary and contains seeds. A vegetative body is a root, tuber, rhizome, runner etc. that can often produce another plant, but it is identical to the parent plant,


What would you do to grow an identical plant?

To grow an identical plant, you can propagate it through methods like stem cuttings, division, or layering. Ensure you have a healthy parent plant to take cuttings from, provide the right environmental conditions (light, temperature, water), and use a suitable rooting medium. Monitor the new plant closely as it establishes itself.


Why did al the pollen grains come from the same healthy plant?

Pollen grains from the same healthy plant are genetically identical because they all come from the same parental plant through the process of sexual reproduction. This ensures the uniformity of the genetic material being passed down to the next generation.
