Further explanation
Twin studies are studies conducted on identical twins. They aim to express the importance of environmental and genetic influences for traits, phenotypes, and disorders. Twin research is considered a major tool in behavioral genetics and in the field of content, from biology to psychology. Twin studies are part of a broader methodology used in behavioral genetics, which uses all genetically informative data - sibling studies, adoption studies, genealogies, etc. These studies have been used to track traits ranging from personal behavior to severe mental presentations. diseases such as schizophrenia.
Twins are a valuable source for observation because they allow studies of environmental influences and various genetic makeups: "identical" or monozygous (MZ) twins basically share 100% of their genes, which means that most differences between the twins (such as height, susceptibility to boredom, intelligence, depression, etc.) is due to the experience of one twin but not the twins. The "Fraternal" or dizygotic (DZ) twins only share about 50% of their genes, just like other siblings. Twins also share many aspects of their environment (for example, the womb environment, nurture style, education, wealth, culture, society) because they were born into the same family. The presence of a genetic or phenotypic trait that is given to only one member of a pair of twins (called a mismatch) provides a strong window to the environmental effects on that trait.
