What do various patterns of concordance in monozygotic twins and in dizygotic twins suggest to researchers?
What will be an ideal response?
If the concordance rate in monozygotic twins were similar to that of dizygotic twins, the evidence would suggest a strong environmental influence on the disease or behavior. If the concordance rate for monozygotic twins were much higher than the rate for dizygotic twins, the evidence would suggest a strong role for the influence of heredity.
