a. Monozygotic twins, one raised in a wealthy family living in a modern city and the other raised in poverty in a developing nation
b. Adopted children from different biological families raised in the same home
c. Biological siblings raised in the same house
d. Biological siblings, each adopted immediately after birth, one raised in New Orleans and the other in New York City
Question 2

b. the effects of adoption on a child's personality.
c. the effect of environment without the confound of shared genes.
d. the effects of genes without the confound of shared environments.
