Answer:

It is not possible to determine the twins' behaviors based on having this single gene.

Explanation:

Even though both boys are meant to have a gene that is associated with aggressive tendencies, this is only a single gene. A single gene has very little impact once we combine it with the impact of all genes, as well as with the cultural influences and social context that the boys will grow up in. These characteristics are much more likely to determine the future behaviour of the twins. Therefore, we can conclude that we cannot possibly determine what their behaviour will be like based on a single gene.

When the twin boys grow up as they have a gene of aggressive tendencies, there is no definite way of having to find out whether their genes will likely come up as an aggressive one as they grow for this behavior does not base what they will likely be because it is only a single gene.
