An example of a false negative is taking an HIV test and having the test come back negative to say the patient is clean, but in reality they have HIV. Another example of a false negative is a woman taking a pregnancy test saying "not pregnant" (i.e. test is negative), but she actually is pregnant. Between those two examples, it is better to have a false negative pregnancy test because it is non life threatening.

A false positive example would be getting bad news you have cancer, when you actually don't have cancer. Another false positive example is a test saying you have a cold virus, when in actuality you don't. The first example mentioned would have the patient likely go through intense chemo treatments which would greatly affect their livelihood. The second example is a more harmless false positive as it would involve at most a flu shot if anything.

Why are studies of identical twins important in helping understand interactions between environment and genotype?
anyanavicka [17]
Since hereditarily they ought to be indistinguishable so any contrasts between them will be caused by their condition. Since indistinguishable twins create from a solitary prepared egg, they have a similar genome. So any contrasts between twins are because of their surroundings, not hereditary qualities. Late examinations have demonstrated that numerous naturally actuated contrasts are reflected in the epigenome.

expeople1 [14]
The answer is "PET scan" or "PET-CT". 

PET scan or positron emission tomography uses the technology behind conventional CT scans but performs to quantify the function in specific parts of organs (i.e. brain). The patient will be given a positron emitting substance most commonly fluorodeoxyglucose or FDG via intravenous injection. After which, the patient will go to the PET machine and the PET machine will measure the positron emitted throughout the body. Positron is well correlated to the function of a specific part of an organ.
