Ever wondered why identical twins, despite sharing 100% of their DNA, can be so incredibly different? In this episode of MedHeads, we’re unraveling the fascinating science behind why identical twins aren’t truly identical. From the quirks of gene expression to the subtle influences of their environments, this episode dives into how nature, nurture, and pure chance shape each twin’s unique personality, health, and life experiences.
Discover how factors like womb positioning, birth order, and random mutations create differences that defy expectations. Learn how identical twins help scientists uncover the interplay between genetics and the environment, paving the way for breakthroughs in personalised medicine.
If you’ve ever been intrigued by the nature versus nurture debate or simply want to understand how tiny genetic and environmental shifts make a world of difference, this episode is for you. Dive in with us as we explore what identical twins teach us about individuality, health, and human potential.
