The extent to which biologically related people show similar characteristics is measured by a technique called:
A) genetic engineering
B) recombinant technology
C) concordance
D) behavioral genetics

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Concordance is a statistical measure that indicates the extent to which biologically related individuals show similar characteristics. It is commonly used in fields such as behavioral genetics to quantify the heritability of certain traits or disorders. Genetic engineering and recombinant technology are methods of manipulating genetic material, while behavioral genetics is the study of how genes and environment interact to influence behavior. None of these choices corresponds to the technique of measuring the degree of similarity between relatives, which is concordance.
