Genetics article

Scientists conducted a study with 51 pairs of twins where one or both had fainted, both monozygous(derived from one egg) and dizygous(derived from two eggs) twins were studied. Monozygous are also known as Identical twins, and Dizygous are known as fraternal. The study showed that Identical Twins are more likely to BOTH faint then fraternal twins, and the reason they chose twins was because their genes are identical (hence the term identical twins). There is no scientific use for this study that was stated in the article, and there are no known implementations for this study either.
