Climate change is particularly acute in the Arctic. Some scientists are concerned about the melting of the Greenland ice sheet because the extra water will cause sea level to rise around the globe. However, another concern is related to the thermohaline "conveyer belt" of ocean circulation. How might the melting of the Greenland ice sheet cause changes to that pattern of currents?
Definitions:
Polygenic Processes
Involving or determined by several different genes, affecting the inheritance and variation of certain traits or disorders.
Heritability
A measure of how much of the variation in a trait within a population is due to genetic differences among individuals in that population.
Twin Studies
Studies of the heritability of a disorder by comparing concordance rates between monozygotic and dizygotic twins.
Identical Twins
Twins resulting from the splitting of a single fertilized egg, sharing the same genetic material and thus being genetically identical.
