👉 Endokaryogamy is a type of genetic variation in which cells do not divide during their lifetime, but instead are modified or altered by environmental factors. This means that after a cell has been replicated, it retains its original genetic information and remains genetically unique throughout its lifetime. The term "endokaryogamy" refers to the ability of some organisms to retain their genetic information without undergoing replication and is often associated with the development of certain traits in plants and animals.
