You are conducting a twin study to estimate the heritability of a particular trait and have found that monozygotic twins have a

concordance of 75%. Using ONLY this information, does this trait show high, low, or unknown heritability? Write no more than two sentences to justify your conclusion, and/or specify how to use additional information to determine heritability. ITRE

Answer:

The correct answer is "high heritability".

Explanation:

Concordance, is a term used in genetics to describe the probability that one of the twins have certain trait if his brother certainly has it. A high percentage of concordance, such as 75%, is translated into high heritability since monozygotic twins have identical genomic sequences. Additional information to determine heritability will be to study the exposure to similar environmental conditions, since environment can also affect the presence of certain traits.

The map shows an island arc in Alaska named aleutian arc what does the arc suggest about its surrounding geographic region
zhannawk [14.2K]
We see that this is a region near the continents, so it is probable that there is the boundary of a tectonic plates around there. Since there are islands there, it is quite probable that there is a subduction zone near them which means that the oceanic crust is going below the continental one and the continental is slowly elevated. This also shows that the boundary is convergent, since transform boundaries do not lead to elevation. Near convergent boundaries, there are frequently volcanoes and shallow earthquakes. Finally, the climate near Alaska is cold and this does not depend on whether islands are near a boundary or not. So, 2 4 and 5 are correct. hopefully this is correct?
