Identical Twins:
Identical twins have the same genome because they developed from a single zygote.
Nature AND Nurture
Classical twin studies have identified a number of behavioral traits and diseases that are likely to have a genetic component, and others that are more strongly influenced by the environment.
Chromosome 3 Pairs:
Chromosome 3 pairs in each set of twins are digitally superimposed. One twin's epigenetic tags are dyed red and the other twin's tags are dyed green. When red and green overlap, that region shows up as yellow. The 50-year old twins have more epigenetic tags in different places than do 3-year-old twins.
IDENTICAL TWINS: PINPOINTING ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ON THE EPIGENOME
1.The epigenome of the twins is exposed to the ever-changing environment.
2.Height, reading disability, autism, alzhelmers, schizophrenia, alcoholism, bipolar disorder, hypertension, diabetes, multiple sclerosis, breast cancer, chron's disease, stroke, rheumatoid arthritis.
3.Where epigenetic tags are left on mom and dad's chromosomes.
YOUR ENVIRONMENT, YOUR EPIGENOME
1.Environmental factors influence the epigenome to turn on and off certain genes.
LICK YOUR RATS
1.High nurtured rats are able to easily relax after stress. Low nurtured rats have a hard time relaxing after stress.
2.It activates the GR gene.
