Concordance = presence of the same trait.
Identical twins have a higher rate than fraternal because most of their DNA is identical, it’s identical because the zygote split into two so the babies shared an amniotic sack. (Zygote is fertilized egg) so the baby got duplicated meaning only one egg and sperm created two babies. Fraternal twins happen when two eggs are fertilized and grow in separate amniotic sacks. So two different babies, two different eggs and sperm.

Nuetrik [128]
When the two waves meet, there are two possibilities:

1.If the waves were both in phase and moving in the same direction, then, the amplitude will double, this is called constructive interference.
2. If the two waves were exactly out of phase, then they will try to move the water surface in all directions, thus, no movement and the waves cancel out. This is called destructive interference.

How to prevent bias in scientific investigation
Mnenie [13.5K]
If you want to prevent yourself from being bias you must not base anything off of your opinion, or what you think is the right answer.

Everything must be strictly facts with no intention of trying to persuade the reader. If you truly believe that you need something in your paper, make sure you can support your claim with actual facts (it is very important that you back up all of your claims with actual facts)

Refrain from using things like:
•In my opinion
•I think
•I believe
•I know
•Everyone knows that

Nezavi [6.7K]
<span>Both photoautotrophs and chemoautotrophs synthesize organic compounds from (inorganic) carbon dioxide, a process known as carbon fixation. Photoautotrophs get the energy to perform these reactions from light. Chemoautotrophs get it from electron donors such as hydrogen sulfide and ammonia. Cyanobacteria, by contrast, convert nitrogen from the atmosphere into ammonia, a process known as nitrogen fixation.</span>
