A geneticist studies a series of characteristics in pairs of monozygotic and dizygotic twins, obtaining the concordances listed below. For each characteristic, indicate whether these concordances suggest genetic influences, environmental influences, or both. Explain your reasoning.

PLEASE DO BAR GRAPHS BASED ON DATA: Procedure: Assuming both parents carry three tall genes and three short genes, you will model the inheritance of height for ten different offspring. Flip a coin six times to determine how many tall and short genes the child inherits. Heads represents a tall gene and tails represents a short gene. Record all of your data along with the class data in the tables below Data: Table 1: Group results Flip (Your Group) 1 2 3 4 5 Number of tails 0 1 2 3 4 Number of heads 6 5 4 3 2 Table 1: continued Flip (Your Group) 6 7 8 9 10 Number of tails 5 6 3 2 1 Number of heads 1 0 3 4 5 Table 2: Group and class results Flip Situation 0 T 6 H 1 T 5 H 2 T 4 H 3 T 3 H 4 T 2 H 5 T 1 H 6 T 0 H Your Group Total 1 3 6 10 9 5 1 Class Total 0…

Which of the following choices accurately describe what makes one person different from another with regard to traits (such as height) that have a very high heritability? Choose all that apply a) What makes us different is not that we have different genes, but that we have different alleles of many of those genes b) What makes us different from each other is that we have different genes from each other c) Random factors during development is the most significant causes of differences between people d) Most of us have exactly the same genes and alleles, and it’s the environment we were raised in that makes us different e) None of the other choices are accurate
