Why do identical twins become increasingly different over time?

Biology
1 answer:
nika2105 [10]2 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.

Any property that describes how a substance reacts with another substance when forming a new substance is the Property of Reactivity .

Explanation:

The ability of substance to readily react with other substance to produce new product is called as reactivity.

It describes about different methods used by the reactants to form new product.

Sometimes one single reactant gives rise to two different products as in splitting of water during which the following reaction takes place:

H_2 O →2H_2 + O

On contrary, two substance combines together to give rise to one single product as:

2 Mg + O_2  →2MgO

Red and white roses are cross-bred (neither are dominant). The offspring would be ,because of
sveticcg [70]
The offspring would be different depending on what type of breeding you did, because of the fact there are different breeding techniques. Co- dominant means it would be patchy with a combination of both, like when breeding cows. The other technique is incomplete dominance, which is where both the colors ( in this case red and white) mix together to make a different color. But to simplify it, it would most likely be half and half because both genes are recessive.
