looking at them.
Some factors that have a part in

highly inherited. In addition, specific
chromosomes have been linked to
both bulimia and anorexia. Maybe it’s
because of the ability to identify
phenotypic traits of the personality,
such as cognitive style,
temperament and character.
Substantial evidence exists to
support the theory that phenotypic
traits are
the result of expression of genes
under environmental influence.

percent of their genes and fraternal twins
share approximately 50 percent of their
genetic makeup.
