Shouldn't Young Helena and Young Rachel look alike as they are clones? In S5E9 Young Helena is not the same as Young Rachel and played by another actress
Is there a biological explanation?

That's what I was thinking too! Would love to know... and also wouldn't this mean that young Sarah would've looked like the young Helena since they're twins?
This was addressed by the producers... there was a concern that Cynthia Galant (who plays the majority of younger LEDA clones) wouldn't be able to capture Young Helena's wildness and the Ukrainian dialogue.
Plus, Cynthia was getting older/taller and the young Helena was to be portrayed at a younger age.
It would be cool to see alternative shots with Cynthia as young Helena. That is, if they were filmed, which most likely they weren't.
Ok thanks, I was not aware the producers had communicated on this! That makes sense and it was a very good choice as young Helena was perfect
Actually I was a bit confused on the age of Young Helena as it is stated on this website that she was found by Tomas when she was 12 (I m not sure in which episode this was stated) while she was actually 7 when Sister Olga locked her (as explained by Helena herself in S2E5) and she was presumably found by Tomas shortly after that happened
That’s exactly what I thought... but in the end I kinda liked young Helena, she was cute
Cynthia couldn’t speak Ukrainian very convincingly (I don’t blame her) and she was getting to old irl to play Helena at a younger age :)
That confused me too
