Answer to Question 1

C
A very striking finding about bipolar depressive disorder is its tendency to be inherited. Some of the best data on the inheritance of manic-depressive illness come from studies of twins. If one of two identical twins is manic-depressive, the other is almost certain to develop the disease. For fraternal twins (who share much less of their genetic makeup), the risk is much lower, about 20.

Answer to Question 2

B
