When breeders cross two genetically identical organisms the same genes have an increased chance of expressing themselves in the offspring. However, the offspring will also have genes from ancestors.

What happens when a genetically modified animal reproduces?

When a genetically modified animal reproduces, its offspring may inherit the modified genes from the parent. The genetic modification can then be passed on to subsequent generations, potentially altering the traits and characteristics of the offspring. Regulatory bodies often have guidelines in place to monitor and assess the impact of genetically modified animals on both the environment and other organisms.


What happens when two organisms attempt to occupy the same niches?

What happens during asexual reproduction with one celled orginisms?

Asexual reproduction means that an organism makes a perfect copy of itself with the exact DNA so that the offspring are the same as the parent, no mate is required. This, however, leaves no variation and an environmental change can quite easily destroy a population because of this. Asexual organisms are usually small and rarely this occurs in humans. Humans cannot asexually reproduce.

Are twins that can only be two girls or two boys identical?

No. In order for them to be identical they needed to start off as the same cell and divide so at first their DNA is identical meaning they have the same sex. During development slight changes may occur but the sex always stays the same. Boy-girl twins are always two different cells meaning that they are not identical. The term for boy-girl twins is furturnal. You can however have boy-boy twins and girl-girl twins that are not identical and they are also called furternal. So basically, identical twins start off as one cell that divides and furternal are two individual cells. There is polar body twinning, that's when the egg splits before fertilization, and that can cause a male and a female. This is called semi identical twins or half twins. They share 75% of their genetic markers.

Stages of cell division?

the stages of cell divsion are mitosis and cytokinsis... this happens when a parent cell divides into genetically identical cells called daugther cells.


How are identical twins genetically from fraternal twins?

Identical twins are genetically the same, because they come from the same fertilized egg/sperm cell zygote, which happens to split into two viable zygotes. Fraternal twins, however, come from two different egg/sperm cell zygotes, that are concurrently fertilized and remain viable.


Mitosis is to body cells as meiosis is to?

Germ cells. Somatic cells perform mitosis to get genetically identical daughter cells, and germ cells perform meiosis to get genetically different cells. In gametophytes, it's known as generative cells.


What happens as a result of asexual reproduction?

Asexual reproduction produces offspring that are genetically identical to the parent organism. This leads to a lack of genetic variation among the offspring, which may make them more susceptible to diseases or environmental changes. On the other hand, asexual reproduction allows for rapid population growth and is common in organisms such as bacteria and plants.


What is a group of the same organisms?

In the English language, there are a huge variety of names for groups of animals and groups of plants and groups of people.See the "What are the names for various groups of animals?" for some of them.Typically such groups have members that are related to each other.The special case of a group of organisms that are genetically identical to each other -- which happens in the wild with many kinds of plants and bacteria, and a very few species of animals -- is called a clonal colony.


What happens when the nucleus divides into two identical nuclei?

You get identical twins!


What is a result of mitosis?

A clone of genetically identical cells. Remember mitosis happens in somatic cells i.e. body cells (not gametes such as sperm). Also a cell splits into two, a parent cell and a daughter cell are the two cells present after this cell division. Sequences of mitosis: prophase, metaphase, anaphase and telophase followed by cytokinesis.


How identical twins are form?

A fertilized egg splits in two- Apex


What happens after mitosis begins?

After mitosis begins, the cell undergoes nuclear division (prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase) resulting in two genetically identical daughter cells. Following this, cytokinesis occurs, where the cell's cytoplasm divides to form two separate daughter cells.
