I am not sure if normal inheritance rules are right in the case of clones. Nobody clone people. "Gene roulette" does not work here. It's just an accurate copy. But environmental factors always work.While often referred to as "identical," monozygotic twins do not have completely identical DNA. They share most of their DNA, but studies show that they can differ by an average of 5.2 early developmental mutations, according to a 2021 study. These differences can arise from mutations that occur during the early stages of development after the egg has split, or due to epigenetic factors.
Here's a more detailed explanation:
Now, considering that Eva and Amanda were cloned in embryo, by what process is unclear. While they may carry the same DNA, the expression of that DNA, is even more subject to variation than identical twins like Erika and Daphne.
- Early Developmental Mutations:
Mutations can arise during the replication of DNA in the early stages of embryonic development. Since twins develop from a single fertilized egg that splits, these mutations can occur in one twin but not the other, leading to genetic differences.
Epigenetic factors, likeYou must be registered to see the links, can also cause differences in gene expression between twins. These are chemical modifications to DNA that can turn genes "on" or "off" without altering the underlying DNA sequence. These modifications can be influenced by environmental factors and can lead to differences in how the twins' genes are expressed throughout their lives.
- Not 100% Identical:
Approximately 15% of identical twin pairs have a significant number of these early developmental mutations in one twin but not the other,You must be registered to see the links. These genetic differences can result in variations in physical traits, health conditions, and other characteristics.
- Environmental Influences:
While genetics play a significant role, environmental factors also contribute to differences between identical twins. Different life experiences, such as diet, exercise, and exposure to different environments, can affect gene expression and contribute to observable differences.
They aren't identical "copies", they are technical approximations as close as the technology used allowed it. Training, living conditions and a whole bunch of external factors also influenced the differences.

There was once a case of a children's bodybuilder. I think in India. Prematurely developed muscles limited the bone lengthening process.
