If the concordance value for a trait is 80% in monozygotic twins and 80% in dizygotic twins. This indicates that the trait is influenced by both genes and the environment. True or false
Added by Keya P.
Step 1
If the concordance value is higher in monozygotic (identical) twins than in dizygotic (fraternal) twins, it suggests a genetic influence, because monozygotic twins share 100% of their genes, while dizygotic twins share on average 50% of their genes. However, in Show more…
