Twin studies are often used in the research of human behavioral traits. Although helpful, there are limitations to these studies. All of the following are limitations to twin studies EXCEPT: Traits are assumed to be simple Mendelian inheritance, discounting additive alleles and epistasis Dizygotic twins will often share more than 50% of their genes Monozygotic twins are often treated more similarity than dizygotic twins O Twins studies are a mechanism to understand the genetic and environmental components of a trait Twins reared apart are often adopted out to families of similar income, ethnicity, and religion
