If fraternal (or dizygotic) twins are more likely to be concordant for a trait than other siblings, can it be concluded that the higher concordance rate is due to the greater degree of genetic relatedness?
 
  a. Yes.
  b. Yes, but only if the siblings studied are of the same sex and age.
  c. No, because the greater similarity can be attributed to environmental influence.
  d. No, because fraternal twins are no more genetically alike than other siblings.

Question 2

Why is it particularly useful to study identical twins who were raised in different environments?
 
  a. Differences in brain function can easily be identified.
  b. Concordance rates tend to be higher.
  c. It is possible that the genetics of twins who have been separated have changed in ways to explain any differences found.
  d. It is possible that high concordance rates between identical twins reared together is due to their being treated more similarly than nonidentical twins.

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
