Study Finds Identical Twins Aren't 100% Genetically Identical
Identical twins are not identical as previously assumed. Identical twins come from a single fertilized egg that splits into two. Previously, scientists believed that identical twins share the same genetic codes. researchers believed that physical differences between identical twins were related to nutrition or lifestyle. According to the latest research conducted by researchers in Iceland
Rather than having the same DNA sequences. Twins start developing genetic mutations from the earliest stages of embryo development. The second twin may show the mutation in some cells, but not all cells. This is what influence physical feature or susceptibility to certain diseases in one of the twins. Researches found that twins differed by 5.2 early developmental mutations on average
