Not if two embryos were clones, there would be no genetic difference. So, if
they both were planted at the same time, they would be genetically paralell.
So each flower, male and female, would appear in the exact same number and
each in the exact same corresponding location on each plant. Each of these
flowers would be genetically identical in every way to the corresponding
flower on the other plant. So if the corresponding flowers were compared for
experimentation, any genetic differences could be ruled out.
