Monozygotic twins are two offspring that have identical DNA. This is because they arose from one zygote (hence monozygotic). Both of the offspring came from this zygote which at a particular time spilt. After the split, each individual had a copy of the original DNA
No, monozygotic twins would be the same sex. Monozygotic twins come from one single fertilized egg, or zygote, which then splits to create two separate zygotes which will be genetically identical, or "identical twins", which will always be of the same gender.
yes
No, phenotype refers to the physical traits or characteristics that are observable in an organism, while genotype refers to the genetic makeup of an organism, including both the genes that are expressed and those that are not. So, while genotype influences phenotype, they are not the same thing.
Yes, it is possible for two horses to have the same phenotype but different genotypes. Phenotype is the observable characteristics of an organism, while genotype refers to the genetic makeup. Differences in genotype can lead to variations in the genetic composition that may not be visibly apparent in the phenotype.
The phenotype is the physical/observable trait of the animal - therefore the phenotype of this rabbit is black fur.The genotype, Bb, makes this rabbit heterozygous.
Only identical twins from the splitting of the single ovum ( monozygotic) have identical DNA
No, monozygotic twins would be the same sex. Monozygotic twins come from one single fertilized egg, or zygote, which then splits to create two separate zygotes which will be genetically identical, or "identical twins", which will always be of the same gender.
same as rest of population
yes
Monozygotic twins are also known as identical twins. They form from a single egg that splits into two forming two babies with the same genetic information.
The genotype of the offspring that had the same phenotype as the parents is rr or wrinkled. The phenotype for the seed shape of both parent plants is round.
No, phenotype refers to the physical traits or characteristics that are observable in an organism, while genotype refers to the genetic makeup of an organism, including both the genes that are expressed and those that are not. So, while genotype influences phenotype, they are not the same thing.
Dizygotic twins. If they were fertilized in the same egg, they would be called monozygotic twins.
Dizygotic twins develop from two separate ova fertilized by different sperm at roughly the same time, they are also called fraternal twins. Monozygotic twins develop from one zygote that splits apart producing genetically identical zygotes; also called identical twins.
When twins are formed from one embryo, it is known as monozygotic twinning. This occurs when a single fertilized egg splits into two embryos. As a result, the twins will share the same genetic material, leading to identical or monozygotic twins.
If both parents have the same phenotype, but the offspring did not share that phenotype, then it is likely that the parents have a dominant phenotype, but the offspring has a recessive phenotype, which means that the offpring's genotype would be homozygous recessive, and it's parents' genotypes would be heterozygous. For example, the parents may both have the genotype Bb, which gives them black fur. Approximately 25% of their offspring should have the genotype bb, which gives them the phenotype of white fur.
No. It is possible for the reverse to be true, two organisms can have the same phenotype but a different genotype. This is because the phenotype is what you will see on the outside whereas the genotype is the combination of alleles and since this determines the phenotype, two organisms with the same genotype will have the same phenotype. So, basically, no. Actually 2 organisms can certainly have different phenotypes with the same genotype--this refers to the concept of penetrance. Some people can have the gene for a condition but never show symptoms. An excellent example of this is the disease neurofibromatosis. This disease has very variable penetrance in which a child of an affected parent may show no signs of the disease, but then have a child with a severe form.
