Researchers have studied pairs of twins who were reared in separate homes as children and then reunited as adults. Researchers examined their hobbies, habits, and preferences and found that
A) neither type of twin pair was more similar than the other.
B) dizygotic twins are more similar than monozygotic twins.
C) monozygotic twins are more similar than dizygotic twins.
D) dizygotic twins were physically more similar, but they did not have similar preferences.
Monozygotic Twins
Identical twins resulting from the division of a single fertilized egg, sharing the same genetic material.
Dizygotic Twins
Also known as fraternal twins, are siblings born at the same time but from two different eggs fertilized by separate sperm cells.
Reunited
The process of bringing together or coming together again after being separated.
- Determine the genetic contributions to behavior by reviewing research on twins and children who are adopted.
