Answer to Question 1

A

Answer to Question 2

(a) Suzanne is on the extravert end of the continuum; Ellen is introverted. (b) The girls have only 50 percent of their genes in common (i.e., a .50 kinship quotient). The particular genetic combinations in each girl are also different, noting that a given pair of parents is capable of producing perhaps 64 trillion different children. Finally, personality is polygenic, which means that different combinations of genes could have markedly different expressions. (c) The first-born child is typically reared somewhat differently and may also dominate the younger sibling. Such differences yield markedly different environments within the same home. The girls would also experience different classrooms in school, different friends, and a host of other nonshared characteristics.
