    • Monozygotic
      Twins that share 100% of genes
    • Dizygotic
      Twins that share 50% of genes
    • Genotype
      The genetic makeup of an individual, the particular set of genes the individual possesses
    • Phenotype
      The observable characteristics shown by an individual that are a result of both genes and the environment
    • Concordance rate
      The extent to which twins share the same characteristics
    • Evolution
      Fitness is all about how well an organism is adapted to its environment, a gene that Is adapted at one time may become maladaptive if the environment changes
    • Neurochemical basis of behaviour
      much of our thought and behaviour relies on chemical transmission in our brain by using neurotransmitters, an imbalance of neurochemicals can cause mental disorders
