Upon my reaction with this family mom allowed me to work with her twins since she is worried about being able to

DZ were both a part of the studies too. MZ twins are 100% genetically similar and DZ twin 50% genetically similar‚ so if genetics was responsible for schizophrenia the concordance rate for MZ twins should be higher than DZ twins. Gottesman and shields study supports the idea of genetics being the cause of schizophrenia. They looked at over 40 studies and found the concordance rates for schizophrenia increase as the genetic similarity increases. MZ twins were found to have 48% concordance rate‚ whereas

To differentiate the effects of genes and environment‚ geneticists of behavioral area of expertise twin studies and perform adoption.

The Holocaust was a horrible time for Gypsies‚ Jews‚ the handicapped‚ and anyone who the Germans felt were subhuman.

The plan was to send everyone who was strong enough to concentration and death camps. Of those‚ Auschwitz concentration camp was the deadliest and the harshest. The weak would be shot on the spot‚ babies would be killed and anyone over 50 would

It has been seen that monozygotic twins reared apart still have a higher correlation of IQ than dizygotic twins reared together. If genetics did not play a part in intelligence‚ then dizygotic twins reared together would resemble each other strikingly close regardless of their only 50 percent in genetic relatedness. The interesting evidence is that dizygotic twins show a higher correlation than their other siblings even when reared apart supporting
