Answer to Question 1

Answer: Studies of identical twins suggest that criminal tendencies are genetically transmitted, but other similarities between the twins, including the amount of time they spend together, may account for their similar behaviors. The lack of random assignment in adoption studies creates a bias that may account for the statistical relationships found.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: The id, present at birth, consists of instinctual desires that demand immediate gratification: infants get hungry and do not take no for an answer if not fed soon enough.
Eventually the ego develops and represents the more rational part of personality. Children learn that they cannot always expect immediate gratification of their needs. The superego comes later and represents the internalization of societys moral code.
