Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The scenario described is an adoption study, where the individual is compared with their biological parents and adoptive parents to determine the influence of genetics versus environment on various traits and characteristics. A twin study would involve comparing identical and fraternal twins to assess the relative effect of genetics versus environment on traits. A human genome study and genetic mapping study are both focused on analyzing an individual's DNA at a molecular level for various purposes, but do not necessarily involve a comparison of different family members.
