Identical twins have the same DNA - meaning that without the effects of environment they would be identical in every single way.

Comparative genomics has shown that the human and mouse genomes are identical?

Comparative genomics has shown that the human and mouse genomes are virtually identical and 200 linkage groups between the two have been identified. They are so much alike that the mouse-human comparison chart is considered the gold standard to use.


How does a cloned indiviual compare to the original?

A cloned individual shares the same genetic material as the original, meaning they have identical DNA. However, environmental factors, experiences, and epigenetic changes can lead to differences in personality, behavior, and physical traits. Thus, while they may be genetically identical, their development and life experiences can create distinct differences between the clone and the original.


Why do identical twins have slight differences at birth?

Because they are only truly identical after their cells first split into two embryos. After that, they will begin to divide independently of each other (using the same instructions from DNA). Since cell division is complex, they will not divide identically, which will make subtle changes in their construction. Since they are using the same instructions for cell division (from DNA) they will look remarkably similar, but not truly identical.


Why are chromatids not identical?

Chromatids are not identical because they undergo genetic recombination during meiosis, where segments of DNA are exchanged between homologous chromosomes. This process introduces genetic variation, leading to chromatids with different combinations of alleles. Additionally, mutations can also occur during DNA replication, further contributing to differences between chromatids.


Psychologists use what to determine the role that heredity and the environment play in determining trait?

Psychologists like to use sets of identical twins for studies. If the identical twins turn out more similar than fraternal twins or regular siblings, they conclude that the trait is genetically influenced and hereditary.

Why are there differences between identical twins?

Although Identical twins look the same and share the same DNA, there are some differences between the two do to there environment and way of life as they develop. However, one way to distinguish between the twins from birth would only be by their finger prints. In other words, identical twins finger prints are different from birth because of there movements within the mothers womb and what they are touching within her womb before they are born.

What are the differences between identical twins?

Identical twins are genetically identical, meaning they share the same DNA. However, differences can arise due to environmental factors, epigenetic changes, and random mutations that occur during development. These factors can lead to variations in appearance, personality, health outcomes, and other traits between identical twins.

Differences in DNA between individuals is called?

No two individuals have the same genetic content, with identical twins being the only exception. Even, they if brought up in different envoironment can develop changes, brought baout by environment. Such differences among individals at the genetic level is known as " variations".
