Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Twin spots, also known as somatic twin spots, refer to the appearance of distinct patches of tissue on an organism that are genetically different from each other. These twin spots occur as a result of mitotic recombination during embryonic development. The observation of twin spots led to the discovery of mitotic recombination and provided researchers with a valuable tool for studying genetic mechanisms.
