have identical DNA. Sometimes‚ plants are self-pollinated‚ producing seeds and eventually more plants with the same genetic code. Some forests are made entirely of trees originating from one single plant; the original tree spread its roots‚ which later sprouted new trees. When earthworms are cut in half‚ they regenerate the missing parts of their bodies‚ leading to two worms with the same set of genes.
