No, they're not "copies" of each other, as even "identical" twins develop differently in the wombWhile you're right about differential development of MZ twins in utero, a process called developmental noise (which is likely responsible for a good share of the differences between MZ twins), you're misunderstanding the concept here. This doesn't make them any less "copies" of one another (which they ARE), and clones would be just as different from their progenitors because of the same effects. and have little differences in each individual's DNA code. And while this is correct (as recently discovered, as I explained to Spider-Pig), clones would likely have much of the same minute differences, as these are due to mutation. |
