Answer to Question 1

d

Answer to Question 2

If the concordance rate in monozygotic twins were similar to that of dizygotic twins, the evidence would suggest a strong environmental influence on the disease or behavior. If the concordance rate for monozygotic twins were much higher than the rate for dizygotic twins, the evidence would suggest a strong role for the influence of heredity.
