🔬Behavior genetics studies genetic influences on human behavior and traits.
👨🏻🔬Monozygotic twins share more genes than dizygotic twins, allowing researchers to explore genetic influences.
🌍Shared environment can also contribute to similarities in behavior among twins.
💡Monozygotic twins with a monochorionic placenta may have more similar traits and cognitive abilities.
🧬Behavior genetics faces challenges with shared environment and differences in placenta formation.
