A clone's nuclear genome is almost identical to that of the original pet, and its appearance is highly similar, but personality and behavior are not determined by genes alone, so the clone is a genetic 'twin' rather than 'the same animal' in the sense of memory and soul.

UnverifiedConvergent evolution can cause entirely unrelated species to evolve neurological structures that appear similar but have distinct origins, so genetic similarity does not necessarily imply structural homology.72% similarUnverifiedMitochondria and chloroplasts retain independent genomes within the cell.56% similarUnverifiedEpigenetics refers to the regulation of gene expression through chemical modifications such as DNA methylation and histone modification, without altering the DNA sequence itself.56% similarUnverifiedSCNT does not require the participation of sperm, and the nuclear genome of the clone comes almost entirely from the donor animal.56% similarUnverifiedIn this experiment, the genes for the left and right sides are completely independent, with no symmetry constraints whatsoever.53% similar
