replication, two new environments are also created. Unlike DNA replication, in
certain cases, replication of the environment does not create copies, but
specializations that are based on different parts of the DNA, i.e. different
types of cells are created - nerve, muscle, skin, etc.</p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0cm 0cm 10pt;line-height:115%;font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,"sans-serif"">I'm curious how we
