playingwithfireextinguishers:Anatomy of a CloneI was intrigued by the fact that each of the clones, while genetic identicals, exhibit some traits that are uniquely their own, so I decided to take a closer look at the known epigenetic causes for these traits (epigenetic = how much a gene is expressed) and the environmental factors which cause them. (Note: I’m pretty sure Helena dyes her hair, but I still thought it was kind of intriguing that someone who is genetically predisposed to have dark hair may actually be blond if their exposure to sunlight is extremely limited before and throughout puberty when melanin pathways are activated). Anyways, these are some of the more interesting things I found. -- source link
