Question

You are meeting with a 21-year-old young man in your office. He is anxious and concerned because his fraternal (dizygotic) twin was just hospitalized and diagnosed with schizophrenia. He looks at you and asks, "Doctor, does this mean that I will go crazy, too?" What is your best answer?

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Dizygotic Twin are non- identical twins . They are born from two different zygote formed by fertilization of two separate ova by two separate sperms . So their genetic constitution will be different like that of two brothers not born as twin. So the young man may not necessarily suffer from schizophrenia .
