Why do scientists use identical twins to study genetics?

Biology
2 answers:
yuradex [85]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Twins are the closest DNA wise

Explanation:

Twins have very similar DNA from looking the same most of the time so scientists can see why they look so similar or why they can seem like the same person, giving scientists more answers on how DNA actually works.

Answer:

because they share the exact same genome, scientists attribute these differences to the environment. ... The basic idea behind studying identical twins is that the results can better determine whether a certain trait, illness, or disorder is influenced more heavily by genetics or by the environment

Explanation:

hope it helps :p

What cause convection currents in the atmosphere?
lesya692 [45]

Answer:

Convection currents are the result of differential heating. Lighter (less dense), warm material rises while heavier (more dense) cool material sinks. It is this movement that creates circulation patterns known as convection currents in the atmosphere, in water, and in the mantle of Earth.

What is natural selection and who came up with this theory??
kakasveta [241]
Natural selection is an idea that Charles Darwin came up with.

It attempts to describe how animals and plants evolved by using nature as the determiner of who survives. For example, if there is a fast cheetah population and a slow cheetah population in Africa, the slow cheetah population will eventually die out due to them not being able to catch prey to survive. The fast cheetah had the desirable traits necessary for survival in this location. Only the strong survive is helpful to remember when dealing with natural selection.

Why did the paramecium die of dehydration when the water solute was raised all the way up AND lowered all the way down?Why did t
svetlana [45]

Answer:

There is a certain water potential maintained in the body of the paramecium, which can change in response to changes in its environment. When the water solute level is increased all the way up, the water potential in the surrounding is a lot lower than the water potential inside the paramecium. Due to this steep water potential gradient, water will leave the paramecium's cell into the surrounding via osmosis. Water being transported out of the paramecium will cause it to dehydrate and die.

In the opposite case where the solute level is lowered all the way down, no water will enter the paramecium cell because its water potential is lower than the surroundings. The difference in water potentials is so great that the water entering the paramecium's cell will cause to burst and die.

Note: remember that diffusion and osmosis takes place down the concentration gradient. The concentration of one environment is determined in reference to another.

Hope that answers the question, have a great day!
