Exactly Identical Genes
Now can two pumpkin seeds have exactly identical genes?
V,
I'm no statistician, but I imagine there would be far more possible
combinations than seeds in the pumpkin. Nevertheless, that one seed has
a given combination of genes would not preclude another seed from having
identical genes. So I vote yes, it's possible.
Also, two seeds that grew pumpkins that looked to the eye of the proud
grower to be identical might have invisible traits that differed, in
much the same way that two fraternal twins that looked very similar
might have dissimiliar gifts. Am I not right?
