Your genes shuffle when sperm and eggs are create. Therefore, there are infinatly many different combinations for for sperm and eggs, so the likelyhood of the same genes coming through are very minuscule (but possible) Upbringing. You won't face the same stimulus nor have the same hardwiring when you do. This could affect mental traits (for example attitude) and physcial (fitness buff versus fat couch potato being a radical example.)

How are chromosomes and inherited traits?

Chromosomes are structures within cells that contain DNA, which carries genetic information. Each chromosome is made up of many genes, which are specific sequences of DNA that determine inherited traits. When organisms reproduce, they pass on their chromosomes to their offspring, thereby transferring these traits. This genetic inheritance explains why offspring tend to resemble their parents and can exhibit similar characteristics.


Why do most living things look similar to their parents?

Most living things look similar to their parents due to genetic inheritance. Offspring inherit genetic material from their parents, which determines their physical characteristics and traits. This inheritance ensures that traits are passed down from one generation to the next, resulting in a resemblance between parents and offspring.


How offspring of sexual reproduction compare genetically to each other?

Offspring of sexual reproduction have unique combinations of genetic material due to the random assortment of genes during gamete formation and the fusion of gametes during fertilization. This results in offspring that are genetically similar to their parents, but not identical to either one or to their siblings.


Why are two cells resulting from meiosis 1 not identical?

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.

Why are offspring from the same parents not identical?

If the children have both inherited genes from the same parents, you would expect them to look quite similar. But they do not look exactly the same. Each child has inherited different genes from its father, and different genes from its mother, to create a new combination of genes. Each child is a unique person, not exactly like its brothers or sisters, but not completely different either.


All organisms can what or offspring that are similar to the parents?

What forms offspring similar to parent?

Sexual reproduction produces offspring similar to parents. Asexual reproduction causes the offspring to be exactly the same as the one parent.

Will the lambs have similar DNA to any of the parents?

Yes, offspring have very similar DNA to their parents whether they are humans or sheep.


What produces offspring that are similar to the parents?

Asexual reproduction through processes such as binary fission or budding produces offspring that are genetically identical to the parent. In sexual reproduction, offspring inherit a combination of genetic material from both parents, resulting in similarities with the parents but not identical copies.
