In human twin studies, obesity has a heritability of 0.75. It means that “Obesity" trait is dependent mainly on the inheritance of genes and some influence of the environment. predominantly influenced by the environment inherited from one of the parents 75% of the time. solely dependent on the inheritance of weight gain -related genes a failure to maintain healthy diet

Which statement is most accurate regarding genetics and the development of chronic disease (cancer, cardiovascular disease, diabetes mellitus type 2, etc)? O genetics are an important component of determining risk for chronic disease, along with diet, exercise, and other environmental exposures O genetics play very little role in determining risk for chronic disease; diet, exercise, and other environmental exposures are much more relevant to risk chronic disease is genetically determined with little or no influence from diet, exercise, and environmental exposure

Nick is a male who displays a rare mitochondrial disease. Nick's wife, Anne, is unaffected. Should they be concerned about having affected children? Yes. All children will definitely be affected. Yes. All daughters will definitely be affected, but sons will be unaffected. No. It is most likely that neither sons nor daughters will be affected. Yes. There is a possibility that both sons and daughters will be affected.
You are examining the gene expression patterns of twins. Which of the following do you expect? Group of answer choices Older identical twins will have more similar expression patterns than similarly aged fraternal twins Younger identical twins will have less similar expression patterns than older identical twins Newborn identical twins will have very different patterns of gene expression Gene expression patterns in identical twins is not related to age

A man and woman have 5 children, all healthy boys. They would like a daughter. What is the likelihood or probability that their 6th child is a girl? Group of answer choices - Nearly 100% probability that the next child is a girl since have all boys - Less than 50% probability since they seem more likely to have boys - 0% probability. This will be a family of all boys - 50% probability of a girl. The previous births have no bearing on this event - More than a 50% probability that the child is a girl since have so many boys
