Concordance rates between monozygotic twins vary in different studies, approximately 50%; whereas dizygotic twins was 17%. Some twin studies (Koskenvuo et al; Hoeffer et al) have found rates as low as 11.0%–13.8% among monozygotic twins, and 1.8%–4.1% among dizygotic twins.

Explanation:

                  "function of snakes"

Snakes are elongated,legless,carnivorous reptile of the suborder serpents.Like all other squamates,snakes are exothermic,amniotic vertebrates covered in over applying scales.Many species of snakes have skulls with several more joints than their lizard ancestors,enabling them to swallow prey much larger  than their heads with their highly mobile jaws.To accommodate their narrow bodies,snakes,oared organ appear one in front of other instead of side by side,and most have only one functional lungs.Some species retain a pelvic girdle with a pair of vestigial claws on either side of the cloaca.Legless lizard have eyelid and external ear.

A scale protect the body of the snakes,aids it in locomotion,allows moisture to be retained within,alters the surface characteristics such as roughness to aid in camouflage,and in prey capture (such as Acrochordus).

Snake scale originates from the epidermis.The integument of the snakes in covered with two primary scale type,both originating from the epidermis.Small scale over the dorsum and lateral surface of the snake.Whereas larger scales cover the vent rum.

Svetlanka [38]
<h2>Neural crest </h2>

Explanation:

The neural crest likely forms: neurons and glia of the peripheral nervous system

  • The neural crest are bilaterally paired strips of cells arising in the ectoderm at the margins of the neural tube
  • In the body region, neural crest cells also contribute the peripheral nervous system (both neurons and glia) consisting of sensory ganglia (dorsal root ganglia), sympathetic and parasympathetic ganglia and neural plexuses within specific tissues/organs
  • The nervous system is made up of specialized cells which includes nerve cells (or neurons) and glial cells (or glia)
  • Neurons are the basic functional units of the nervous system, and they generate electrical signals called action potentials, which allow them to quickly transmit information over long distances
  • Glia are also essential to nervous system function, but they work mostly by supporting the neurons
