Somatic Mutation Breaks Perfect Genetic Identity After Twinning
This video presents the same text shown beside it, spoken and on screen. It adds nothing the text does not say.
State
After an embryo splits into identical twins, per Bio 3361, each lineage accumulates its own somatic mutations, gradually diverging from identity.
Show
Somatic mutations in one twin's cell lineage are absent from the other twin's cells.
Watch for
"Identical twins are 100% identical," per Bio 3361, ignores divergence starting at the first division.
