A concordance of 50% for a trait occurring in identical twins only provides evidence for the role of nature or genes in the development of this trait, and does not yield any information regarding the role of nurture or environment in this trait.

The above statement is False.
If the concordance rate for a given trait is 10 % for both identical and fraternal twins, it means that genes play a relatively minor role in the development of this trait, whereas environment plays a major role in the appearance of this trait.
