Clones

Just look at grapes. Grapes for wine are a usually clones. The plants get to be older and woody so they clone and restart. There are probably grapes that are hundreds of years old. Plants are very different from animals. You can’t cut off an arm and grow a human.

Just want to be sure - never said you could. Just curious if plants had ever been studied at this level for actual markers that would indicate some genetic difference over time from clone to clone. I only mentioned that study as evidence that there are cellular processes at play that we may not even know about.

Obviously plants and animals are different, these just thoughts, pure and simple.

Also - again, I've never noticed any change in clones over time, but my anecdotal experience is limited, and all of these accounts in this thread seem to be personal observed experience over time. A lot of bro-science seems to just be a problem of mixing up correlation and causation.

"Correlation tests for a relationship between two variables. However, seeing two variables moving together does not necessarily mean we know whether one variable causes the other to occur. This is why we commonly say “correlation does not imply causation.”

Thanks!

Nah. No worries. I just didn't want to leave room for any confusion about what I was thinking, and if it could be seen that I was trying to spread B$ on here, there would be much worse coming my way!
