Question Concordance can be a confusing term, so an explanation is presented that will help answer this
question.
Concordance uses Monozygotic (identical) and dizygotic (non-identical) twin pairs to measure
the inherited component of a given trait. If a trait has a strong inherited component than
monozygotic twins should show a higher concordance than dizygotic. If a trait has a low inherited
component that monozygotic twins and dizygotic twins should show a similar concordance.
Using the above explanation rate the following traits in terms of their inherited genetic component
from strongest to weakest.
Autism
MZ Concordance = 90% DZ Concordance = 4.5%
Acne
MZ Concordance = 14% DZ Concordance = 14%
Hypertension
MZ Concordance = 62% DZ Concordance = 48%
Alzheimer diseae
MZ Concordance = 78% DZ Concordance = 39%

Proteins are the workhorses of the cell, controlling virtually every reaction within as well as providing structure and serving as signals to other cells. proteins are long chains of  amino acids  , and the exact sequence of the amino acids determines the final structure and function of the protein. instructions for that sequence are encoded in  genes  . to make a particular protein, a messenger ribonucleic acid (mrna) copy is made from the gene (in the process called  transcription  ), and the mrna is transported to the  ribosome  . protein synthesis, also called  translation  , begins when the two ribosomal subunits link onto the mrna. this step, called initiation, is followed by elongation, in which successive amino acids are added to the growing chain, brought in by transfer rnas (trnas). in this step, the ribosome reads the  nucleotides  of mrna three by three, in units called  codons  , and matches each to three nucleotides on the trna, called the anticodon. finally, during termination, the ribosome unbinds from the mrna, and the  amino acid  chain goes on to be processed and folded to make the final, functional protein
