Question

Map Sapling Learning Suppose concordance data were collected from a cohort study of twins to study the genetic contribution to the onset of type 1 diabetes, also called juvenile diabetes. Both monozygotic (identical) twins and dizygotic (fraternal) twins who grew up together in the same household were included. The concordance rate was found to be 68% among monozygotic twin pairs and 1 1% in dizygotic twin pairs. What general conclusion about type 1 diabetes can be drawn from these results There is low penetrance of the type 1 diabetes phenotype. Therefore, genetic and environmental effects cannot be estimated The heritability of type 1 diabetes is likely high, indicating that genetics plays a larger role No results can be drawn because too many potential variables are present in the study to in the development of type 1 diabetes than the environment. make a reliable conclusion about how twins develop type 1 diabetes. The environment plays a larger role in the development of type 1 diabetes than genetics nhdicanin on herilayitythe development of ype t

Explanation / Answer

the heritability of type 1 diabetes is likely high indicating that genetics plays a larger role in the development of type 1 diabetes than the environment.
