flerkärnighet
Flerkärnighet, also known as polyembryony, is a phenomenon in which a single fertilized egg develops into multiple embryos. This occurs when the fertilized egg undergoes multiple rounds of cell division, resulting in two or more genetically identical embryos. Flerkärnighet is a natural process that can occur in various organisms, including plants and animals.
In plants, flerkärnighet is commonly observed in certain species of orchids, such as the Phalaenopsis orchid.
In animals, flerkärnighet is less common but has been observed in some species of fish and amphibians.
Flerkärnighet is an important biological process that contributes to the genetic diversity and adaptation of species.
