When a single embryo in a mother's womb splits into two separate embryos early on in embryonic development, identical twins are created. Because the two twin embryos originate from the same single embryo, they will have extremely similar, if not identical, physical appearances and emotional actions when they are born.
Identical twins are "identical' because they are created from the same original embryo during development inside the womb, not due to who their parents are.
Sort of, yes. Meiosis gives offspring a random mixture of their parents genes. The likelihood of multiple offspring having the same random mixture is very small, but very similar mixtures happen frequently and result in strong family resemblance. Offspring aren't identical to each other because they get these different mixtures. If each child had DNA identical to one of their parents then there would be a 50% chance for two children born to the same parents to look exactly the same.
People inherit genes from their parents, which contain instructions for traits like eye color, height, and facial features. While children may not look identical to their parents, they can share similarities in these traits due to inheriting a combination of genes from both parents. Additionally, random genetic variation and environmental factors can contribute to differences in appearance between family members.
A clone is genetically identical to the parent. Offspring are 'children' that contain a mix of the father and the mothers DNA and so will be genetically different to both of their parents. Offspring from an asexually reproducing organism (i.e bacteria or rotifers) are sometimes referred to as clones as they contain identical DNA to the parent.
Clones are offspring that are genetically identical to their parents and are produced through asexual reproduction, as opposed to sexual reproduction which produces a genetically different offspring.
Yes, it is possible for parents and their children to have different Rh factors. Each parent contributes one Rh factor gene, which can result in children having a different Rh factor than their parents.
No, the offspring produced by conjugation are not genetically identical to their parents. Conjugation involves the transfer of genetic material between two bacterial cells, resulting in genetic diversity in the offspring.
identical twins could not be produced because there is only suppose to be 2 gametes which is one dominant and one recessive though there can´t be only one gamete i dont know if this answer makes sense but i dont know either if its right
because your identity is split up many different ways bassed on your haritage. the simplest way to say it is: it just depends if one of your parents has several dominate traits
No. DNA is unique to every person in the world. Even identical twins have DNA markers that are different from each other. Therefore, when you have any offspring, sexually produced or lab-grown, that offspring is going to have a unique combination of DNA from both parents that will be unique only to that offspring.
It is no different than the relationship between straight parents and their children.
An offspring is not identical to its parents because, an offspring is the product of the fertilization of two different individuals. Only some features are inherited from either parent, thus the offspring is not an identical copy of the parents.
Even identical twins are heterozygous for many alleles. Recombination would produce gametes with many different combinations of those alleles in each individual. Their offspring, as a result, could have very different genotypes than either parent, and thus look different as well.
Genetics. They Don't Always Take From The Parents. They Can Get Their Genes From An Ancestor such As Grandparents Or Anyone Blood Related. everyone has different DNA. however identical twins have the same DNA if you are related by heredity, you have common alleles [a leels] Forensic scientists may take a sample of saliva, hair, blood, or skin and run the DNA through their database. if there is no result, they can still compare it to other samples from other cases or other people. even if you dont have a picture of them on record. you have their DNA make-up. our DNA and our brothers and sisters have common alleles. An allele is an alternative form of a gene each trait you have has 2 parts (moms, dads) or (dads, moms) there are millions of combinations. We are all different!
I don't think so, I have a fetish for diapers, but know that my parents do not, my identical twin does not and I don't believe my children do.
That would be a very unusual situation. Note that due to the normal process of genetic reshuffling that is involved in human reproduction, the children of the two couples would not be genetically identical even though their parents are.

Well normally asexual organisms are difined as single celled organisms the offspring of the parent would be identical. They would inheret everything from their one parent rather than from two separate parents, basically like cloning. The clone would be the offspring.
