Dna (deoxyribonucleic acid) a complex molecule containing the genetic information that makes up chromosomes. Genes the bio chemical units of heredity that make up the chromosomes; segments of dna capable of synthesizing a protein. Genome the complete instructions for making an organism, consisting of all the genetic material in that organisms chromosomes. Identical twins twins who develop from a single (monozygotic) fertilized egg, it splits into two genetically identical organisms. Feternal twins twins who develop from separate fertilized eggs. They are genetically no closer than brothers and sisters, but they share a fetal environment (share time in the womb together) Temperament a person"s characteristic emotional reactivity and intensity.
