The assumption that the environment affects dizygotic (DZ) twins in the same way it influences monozygotic (MZ) twins has been criticized. Describe this criticism and the research methodology used to address it
Need help with this one please!
Answer: The criticism is that there may be greater concordance among MZ twins in part because they are treated more similarly than the DZ twins are treated. To address this concern, adoption studies have been conducted. If the concordance rate is higher for biological relatives than for adoptive relatives, this finding will point to genetic involvement in the trait.
