Back 5

two separate placentas

Front 6

Fraternal twins originate from the fertilization of

Back 6

Front 7

Compared with identical twins, fraternal twins are

Back 7

The best reason to be cautious about attributing all the personality similarities of separated twins to genetic factors is
that

Back 8

adoption agencies tend to place separated twins in similar homes.

Front 9

Identical twins separated at birth and raised in completely different cultures would be most likely to have similar

Back 9

temperaments

Front 10
