Summary Introduction

Introduction: The variation in DNA sequence of genome of members of a species is known as genetic variation. Genetic variation can be quantified as average percentage of heterozygous loci and provides the raw material for evolution. The identical twins of the humans exhibit similar copy of the alleles for genes, therefore they are genetically identical.
