Which statement best describes a population of organisms if cloning is the only method used to reproduce this population?
If cloning is the only method used for reproduction, then all individuals in the population will have identical genetic material. This lack of genetic diversity could potentially make the population more vulnerable to disease or environmental changes. Additionally, evolution through natural selection would be limited as there is no source of genetic variation for traits to be selected upon.
In what situations would DNA fingerprinting not be an appropiate tool for identification?
If you have two suspects who are identical twins, and you are trying to find out which one is the killer. Identical twins have identical DNA. However, identical twins do not have identical fingerprints, so you could just get a regular fingerprint sample instead.
What would happen if human beings were created through asexual reproduction?
If it were possible to create human beings by means of asexual reproduction, possibly we would want to have genetically identical offspring of exceptionally talented people such as Albert Einstein, or John Lennon, etc. Possibly we would create huge clone armies. Possibly there would be fewer people who feel the need to practice sexual reproduction. Possibly the world would become even more overpopulated than it already is.
Would two brothers have the simIlar dna?
It is very unlikely that two brothers would have babies with the same DNA. That could only happen if identical twin brothers married identical twin sisters, and even then the mixing of DNA during reproduction makes this an extremely unlikely outcome.
Why would it be bad if all humans were genetically identical?
Having a population of genetically identical humans could lead to a lack of genetic diversity, which is important for ensuring a population's ability to adapt to changing environments and resist diseases. Inbreeding may also become a problem, increasing the risk of genetic disorders and health issues. Additionally, unique traits and characteristics that stem from genetic variation could be lost.
What kind of reproduction could you infer from population of identical individuals?
Asexual Reproduction

How could you use asexual reproduction and mitosis in the same sentence?
Cells in the body, apart from the sex cells, reproduce by mitosis, a form of asexual reproduction where the chromosomes are identical in both the parent and the daughter cells.
Competition between members of a woodchuck population in a large field could be expected to increase as a result of an increase in the?

What are the offspring of sexual reproduction related to their parent?
What could be said is that the offspring will not be identical, genetically or regarding appearance; there will be variation between offspring and their sexually reproducing parents.

What is a population pattern?
A population pattern is shown on a map where people live, such as dense areas within the population. Other patterns could be specific themes, such as average income of the population.
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.
When will natural selection favor altruism?
Altruism is basically when a member sacrifices itself for the well being of the population. If the population that was protected has favorable traits, they will be naturally selected for and over generations become dominant in the population. If they weren't protected, the population could die out.
Would a dominant allele ever return to a population?
If a population does not have a particular dominant allele, it could return to the population through the immigration of new individuals carrying the dominant allele.
How many pairs of identical twins are in The world?
Estimating the exact number of pairs of identical twins in the world is challenging due to varying birth rates and reporting practices across countries. However, studies suggest that approximately 3 to 4 pairs of identical twins are born for every 1,000 births globally. Given the world's population and average birth rates, this could translate to millions of pairs of identical twins existing today. The prevalence of identical twins can also vary by region and population genetics.
