Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Obesity is unlikely to be inherited by monozygotic twins. While genetics can play a role in obesity, environmental factors such as diet and exercise have a larger impact. As monozygotic twins share the same environment, it would be less likely for one twin to be significantly more obese than the other. Therefore, monozygotic twins are less likely to inherit obesity compared to other conditions such as schizophrenia or autism.
