Sentences with phrase «more identical genes»

Not exact matches

Based on the core principles of behavioral genetics, if genetics explain variations in distrust and trust behaviors, then identical twins should behave more similarly to each other than fraternal twins, since the genes of identical twins are shared, while the genes of fraternal twins are only imperfectly correlated, Reimann said.

If genes were more involved in facial preference, identical twins would have had similar ratings; if the influence of a familial environment carried more weight, fraternal twins would have also answered similarly.

Constellation of factors Twin studies have shown that identical twins (who share the same genes) are more likely to both suffer from the disorder than fraternal twins, which has demonstrated that «there's a large genetic component to the disorder,» Cantor says.

Identical twins share all their genes; fraternal twins share no more genes than normal siblings do, but they get exposed to the same environment in the womb and at home during infancy.

The Swedish Twin Registry has enabled her to compare identical twins, who share 100 % of their genes, with fraternal twins, whose genetic makeups are no more similar to each other than any pair of siblings.

Since they have identical genes, the environmental selection gives them environments far more in common.

If the microbiomes of the identical twins are more alike within a twinship than those of the fraternal twins, we can conclude that genes have played a role.

A more advanced experiment uses «single - worm PCR» to examine the mechanism of RNAi - comparing the DNA of worms with identical phenotypes induced either by RNAi or a gene mutation.

If an immune response was more similar within identical twins, genes probably played a major role.

Identical twins, known to science as «monozygotic», may share more than identical looks and genes, according to new research in the field of epiIdentical twins, known to science as «monozygotic», may share more than identical looks and genes, according to new research in the field of epiidentical looks and genes, according to new research in the field of epigenetics.

If something is really influenced by genes you would expect identical twins to be more similar to each other than the fraternal twins, Wilmer says.

Siblings who share the same genes (identical twins) end up being substantially more similar on abstract social and emotional traits such as conscientiousness and grit than siblings who share only half their genes (fraternal twins), regardless of whether they are raised in the same families and attend the same schools.

Pleiotropy means one gene (or identical gene pair, if recessive) gives rise to more than one disease or characteristic; Alaskan Malamute dwarfism / anemic blood disorder is another example.
