If one identical twin is diagnosed as schizophrenic there is a high probability that the other twin will also have this mental disturbance?
Yes, the development of schizophrenia has a genetic component.
Mike and Mack are identical twins while Betty and Bonnie (unrelated to Mike and Mack) are fraternal twins. If Mike is affected by schizophrenia then which of following statements is most likely true?
Mack has a 49% better chance of developing the disease than the fraternal twins.
What is the electronegativity difference between two identical atoms?
Zero
What is the reason for the observed difference in mass of three identical 5 peso coins?
Pennies vary in mass over the years as a result different designs and metal ratios used to produce them. If you are referring to pennies produced in the same time period, then it may be a result of different isotopes that when accumulated result in a variation of mass.
How can different races have babies'?
The DNA of all humans is essentially identical and allows breeding, despite a difference in the continental origin of the parents.
How much potential difference is there between two identical charges?
There is no potential difference between identical charges
How likely is schizophrenia hereditary?
Schizophrenia is partly genetic- one out of ten people who have at least one schizophrenic relative also have schizophrenia (compared to one out of one hundred people in general). About one out of two people whose identical twins have schizophrenia also have schizophrenia. However, schizophrenia is not completely genetic. If schizophrenia was completely genetic, everyone who had an identical twin with schizophrenia would also have schizophrenia. This is not the case. Like I said before, about 50% of people whose identical twins have schizophrenia also have schizophrenia. There are environmental as well as genetic factors to schizophrenia.
Can bipolar people have schizophrenic symptoms?
Bipolar Disorder and Schizophrenia have some symptoms that are quite similar. The main difference between these two is that schizophrenia's characterized by hallucinations and delusions while bipolar disorder is mainly manic behavior followed by periods of depression. Typically, bipolar behaviors are fairly distinguishable from schizophrenia, but there are some rare cases of schizo-affective disorder which is a combination of schizophrenia and bipolar disorder where there is a mood component accompanied by schizophrenia. In short, bipolar symptoms can be somewhat similar to schizophrenic symptoms, but unless the individual has schizo-affective disorder the symptoms won't be identical enough to confuse the two disorders with one another.
Can you get schizophrenia without a relative with schizophrenia?
No. Scientists have long known that schizophrenia runs in families. The illness occurs in 1 percent of the general population, but it occurs in 10 percent of people who have a first-degree relative with the disorder, such as a parent, brother, or sister. People who have second-degree relatives (aunts, uncles, grandparents, or cousins) with the disease also develop schizophrenia more often than the general population. The risk is highest for an identical twin of a person with schizophrenia. He or she has a 40 to 65 percent chance of developing the disorder.
What is the difference between a Kodak z915 and a zd15?
There is no difference they are identical cameras.
If one identical twin is diagnosed as schizophrenic there is a high probability that the other twin will also have this mental disturbance?
Yes, the development of schizophrenia has a genetic component.
Is schizophrenia a genetic condition?
A combination of genetic and environmental factors play a role in the development of schizophrenia.[2][3] People with a family history of schizophrenia who suffer a transient psychosis have a 20-40% chance of being diagnosed one year later.[23] Estimates of heritability vary because of the difficulty in separating the effects of genetics and the environment.[24] The greatest risk for developing schizophrenia is having a first-degree relative with the disease (risk is 6.5%); more than 40% of monozygotic twins of those with schizophrenia are also affected.[3] It is likely that many genes are involved, each of small effect and unknown transmission and expression.[3] Many possible candidates have been proposed, including specific copy number variations, NOTCH4, and histone protein loci.[25] A number of genome-wide associations such as zinc finger protein 804A have also been linked.[26] There appears to be significant overlap in the genetics of schizophrenia and bipolar disorder.[27]

What are they identical or do they posses any difference?
Definitely maybe.
What is the difference between hydroxylation and oxidation reaction?
There is no difference, these are 2 names for an identical reaction.
Why do identical genoms have different structures and functions?
On one hand you say identical and on other hand you say difference in the structure. Identical means the human genome. But every human being is different, except the identical twins. You get half genes from the mother and half from the father. There are enough permutations and combinations to give you different individuals. The difference in structures result in difference in functions.
What is the difference between sequence and rate of development?
Well.... The difference is purely the names. They are completely identical.
