In order to study their hypothesis‚ Bouchard and Lykken located identical twins that were separated by birth due to adoption and spent a week conducting various tests; four personality

There are studies that have been done on this topic‚ however not that many since it is a long term experiment and in some cases it was done without even the twins or their parents and families knowing about it happening. There are multiple existing coincidental examples and planned studies that were done in which it is shown that

Identical twins share the same genetic code and thus are natural clones. Because identical twins share all of their genes‚ it has been said that it is the environment—rather than genetics—that accounts for any differences between them. Twins can either be monozygotic ("identical")‚ meaning that they develop from one zygote that splits and forms two embryos‚ or dizygotic ("fraternal") meaning that they develop from two single eggs that are fertilized by two separate sperms.
