Expert Solution
Step 1: Define concordance value and types of twins

The twins are of two types, namely, identical twins and fraternal twins. Identical twins are also called monozygotic twins whereas fraternal twins are also called dizygotic twins.

In health science, concordance ratio or rate is generally employed to determine the impact of nature as well as nurture on the growth of a specific traits or ailments in an organism. This helps our researchers and scientists unravel the impact of genes and the environment on particular characteristics or diseases like severe depression or overweight in a given groups or population.

The concordance rate is the proportion of pairs of individuals that share a specific trait, provided that one of the individuals contains that particular trait.
