1

Select from the dropdown lists to complete the text.

The twin study by Gottesman and Shields found ( 48, 56, 19 )% concordance rates for MZ twins and ( 17, 12, 90 )% for DZ twins. Therefore because the MZ ( share more, have less shared DNA ) DNA the fact that they have higher concordance rates indicates a ( genetic, environmental ) link. A criticism of this study is that the higher concordance rate in MZs could be due to a very ( similar, different ) environment. Also if schizophrenia is due to genes alone, the concordance rate should be ( 100, 0 )%.
