What are homologous sequences? What is the difference between orthologs and paralogs?
answer :Ortholog: any gene found in two or more species that can be traced to a common ancestor; specif. one of two homologous genes that is descended from a common ancestor, but which has evolved in a different way; also called orthologous gene
paralog: Homologous sequences are paralogous if they were separated by a gene duplication event: if a gene in an organism is duplicated to occupy two different positions in the same genome, then the two copies are paralogous.
Explanation / Answer
Cells in plants are totipotent I.e they have ability to form complete organism where as in case of animals only few cells have this property such as stem cells. This property makes plants more suitable for cloning than animals
