This British grass snake exhibits dicephalus, a condition related to conjoined twinning. It is caused during development by high incubation temperatures.
Geminiviruses are a group of plant viruses occurred worldwide and characterized by their unique twinned particles, which encapsidate a circular single-stranded DNA genome.
Thanks to research like NASA's twin study which you'll hear about in a minute, scientists are getting an idea about how extended time in space effects people.
Research published in the journal PLOS Genetics, explains how twin studies have shown that about 40% of the variation in a person's weight is affected by their genes.
For instance, monozygotic twins look more alike than dizygotic twins and maybe they have different and--they have more similar environments because of this similarity in appearance.
But if you think about the area that the twin study was involved in things like say, identifying what might be epigenetic damage to the geno that might proceed the development of mutations that could lead to cancer risk.
