Question 4 • CUSD Psychology (5.0)

__________ who have been raised apart are typically more similar in intelligence level than biological siblings raised together because they have been born with the same genetic code.

Answer
A
Male siblings
B
Adopted siblings
C
Identical twins
D
Fraternal twins

Explanation

Identical twins develop from the same fertilized egg and share nearly all of their genetic code. Because genes contribute to intelligence, identical twins raised apart are typically more similar in intelligence than biological siblings raised together, who share only about half their genetic variations on average. The correct choice is “Identical twins.”
