Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Folic acid has been shown to decrease the risk factor for neural tube defects, which includes spina bifida.

Answer: A 
 Multifactorial traits are influenced by both genetic and environmental factors, such as intelligence quotient and developmental dyslexia.

Answer: E 
 Monozygotic twins come from a single fertilized egg and therefore have the same genetic makeup, making them useful in genetic research and studies on concordance (the degree to which twins share a certain trait).

Answer: D 
 The bell curve, also known as the normal distribution, is often used to describe the distribution of traits in a population, such as intelligence quotient.
