I remember that phrase! I think (correct me if I am wrong) that refers to a species perpetuating the genetic characteristics of the previous generation. Guppies produce guppies. Something like that.
If you are using "Siamese" in reference to "Siamese twin"...that is very outdated term. The correct term is "conjoined"...as in conjoined twins. Siamese twin is now considered to be rude and disparaging...same as its rude to call a deaf person "deaf and dumb" (another big no-no!).
That is the Political Correctness lesson for the day.
