Now researchers have discovered that not genomes alone are responsible for US. That a twin can have the same genomes, but what makes that genome 'GO' depends on the epigenomes attached to it and if from papa or mama, the close care of baby by mama, as well as the influence of one's environment!
Explanations in a nut shell. So now I now why I am pre disposed to certain diseases - it's all to be blamed on Gramma's experiences while in her Mama's womb. But fascinating nevertheless.
Or one COULD Blame it on the Bossa Nova- Eydie Gorme and Los Panchos LOL!
But, seriously it IS a totally engrossing subject.
Moms listen up, tend to your babies!
The excerpt below emphasizes differences found indentical twins.
"But a whole new level of explanation has been opened up by a genetic survey showing that identical twins, as they grow older, differ increasingly in what is known as their epigenome. The term refers to natural chemical modifications that occur in a person's genome shortly after conception and that act on a gene like a gas pedal or a brake, marking it for higher or lower activity"
