I have seen that this was answered as C, Why is the answer C, how is that not evidence of it being genetic? Shouldnt it be none of the above?
Question:
Of the following, which supports the idea that alcoholism has no genetic or a low genetic component? a) Some strains of mice select alcohol over water 75% of the time, whereas others shun alcohol. b) The concordance value is 55% for MZ twins and 28% for DZ twins. c) Biological sons of alcoholic men who have been adopted have a rate of alcoholism more like that of their adoptive fathers. d) There is a 20% to 25% risk of alcoholism in the sons of alcoholic men. e) None of these.
In Genetic Variation, If people have a similar genetic makeup, why do weu use DNA to understand or determine whether suspects are innocent or guilty of a crime.
"Genetics Has Had a Profound Impact on Society" Explain about this ?
