Twins often have similar characteristics that go beyond physical appearance. What would happen if a set of twins grew up apart; would their characteristics change based on their surroundings or would their genes keep them alike? The question is‚ "What is it that makes us who we really are: our life experiences or our DNA?" (npr.org) Scientists have done many studies on twins to see just how much DNA affects personalities. Even though most adoption agencies try to keep siblings together it is

individuals in the United States have to deal with. Having twins‚ triplets‚ and other birth extremities such as conjoined twins and dwarfism have a less chance of happening than single births. Some may benefit the child and some may have a more difficult time performing basic activities‚ but what some people do not realize is that these people with differences face discrimination almost daily and sometimes have difficulty facing it. Twins and triplets have minor discrimination while individuals with

we take identical twins‚ and give one the best environment possible‚ and put the other one in closet for eighteen years the differences will be profound‚ and caused totally by environmental differences between the two children. At the extreme the proponents of the Nurture side of the controversy would have us believe that the differences in human behaviour are like the differences in the twin’s behaviour. Believers in the Nature side of the argument tell you that split-twin studies are wrought

may begin to show. Aggression is one of the things which researchers are debating about; is it due to nature or nurture? Twin studies are very useful in this area because monozygotic (MZ) twins‚ who share 100% of their DNA‚ will prove whether or not aggression (or any other behaviour for that matter) is due to the genes we inherit. If the aggressiveness between MZ twins is more similar‚ this is considered to be down to the role of genes; for example‚ Coccaro et al found that nearly 50% of the
