Why do identical twins become increasingly different over time?

Biology
1 answer:
nika2105 [10]3 years ago
7 0

Explanation:

Identical twins may have less in common than they think. A study now shows that the expression of their genes gets more and more different with age.

The findings could help to explain why one twin may develop a genetically influenced disease, such as diabetes, while the other remains perfectly healthy.

Identical twins have identical genes, because they are born of an embryo that splits at a very early stage in development. Such twins are often indistinguishable in outward appearance. But over the course of time they may experience radically dissimilar health.

Most scientists have assumed that environmental and lifestyle differences cause such divergence. These things trigger chemical reactions that affect our DNA and the proteins entwined with our DNA, called histones. One such reaction, known as methylation, influences the expression of genes and so can have an impact on health.

Cómo influyen las zonas climáticas del planeta en los cambios rítmicos y estacionales
telo118 [61]

Answer:

there asking  

How the climatic zones of the planet influence rhythmic and seasonal changes

Explanation:

The Earth is tilted 23.5 degrees on its axis, which affects the distribution of the sun’s energy across the surface of the planet. As the Earth orbits the sun every 365 ¼ days, the axis is always pointing in the same direction into space, with the North Pole toward Polaris, the North Star. Around June 22, the northern hemisphere is angled towards the sun, and receives the most direct radiation and the most energy. This is the start of astronomical summer in the northern hemisphere and winter in the southern hemisphere.
