Boris:"The reason is that the two sets of chromosomes, in spite of them coming from first cousins, would still be different although quite similar. When you clone, both sets will be identical. Even breeding between siblings would be safer. "

Yes, two successful cell/DNA models, each splitting, there, and then re-combining? As I very primitively and incompletely understood, the genetic material from each parent in natural reproduction is HALF of their total coded "message" or "model", (unique mixture from its own parents) and when they recombine in fertilization, it is a new version, with inherent error-correction mechanisms in operation, quite incomprehensible to me.

Error correction in data transmission, as with this internet communication is probably quantum levels less sophisticated than the sophisticated THREE DIMENSIONAL chemically-based life/reproduction processes.

Necessary and intentional(?) genetic variation from one generation to the next seems to be in the grand life-reproduction "design", true?


Copying tape recordings, analog, not digitally, even with the best of equipment results in gradual degradation of the quality of the information.

Perhaps the digital techniques of restoring degraded images from Mars are slightly suggestive of the ways that a DNA sexual reproduction process can work, containing "redundancies", throwing out the "impossibilities", (and?) and that correction process/step seems to be entirely lost on the initial zygote with cloning. . . .

Think, NOW ! ! (o;
