Ans: Incrossing, iftwo or more genes or traits are involved, there genes assort independently, irrespective of the combinations present in the parents, So, new combinations of genes appear in the offsprings leading to now traits, Are the two cells formed in reproduetion are identical? Ans: ‘The two cells are identical or not it depends on the copying reactions. No biochemical reaction is absolutely reliable. So, there are some variations ‘occur in the copying of the DNA each time. As a result, the DNA copies generated will be similar, but not be identical to the original. Thus, surviving. cells are similar to, but subtly different from each other.
