Final Answer : B, Explanation :  Identical twins come from a single fertilized egg that splits into two embryos. If they share a single placenta during gestation, they are also sharing the same nutrients and blood supply. This increases the chances of them being similarly affected by schizophrenia because they are exposed to the same prenatal environment. However, if they have separate placentas, they may not be as similarly affected due to differences in their prenatal environments. Adoptive parents, environmental stresses, and culture may also play a role in the development of schizophrenia, but the question specifically mentions identical twins and their shared characteristics.

If identical twins share ________,their chances of being similarly affected by schizophrenia are dramatically increased.

A) adoptive parents
B) a single placenta
