Do well in school it could be not just a matter of interest, commitment and dedication that every child or young person puts into what they study. From a new English research it seems in fact that to provide a great help in the academic performance both DNA.
To blame for our successes or failures on the genes, this time is a team of experts from King's College London, which saw the results of their research published in the journal PNAS. Scientists took a sample over 6600 pairs of twins is homozygous (which share the entire DNA) that heterozygous (they share 50% of DNA) with the aim of understanding how some inherited genetic traits (such as groups of genes or DNA sequences) could influence school performance.
After comparing the results obtained by all participants in the General Certificate of Secondary Education exam, an exam that takes place at 16 years of age in the United Kingdom, and evaluating several parameters (including intelligence, degree of autonomy, personality, well-being and problems behavioral) it was possible to note that inheritance it really has its importance even on school desks e 62% influences the performance. The environment, on the other hand, matters much less, only 38%.
But really the school attended, the influence of the family, the teachers, etc. do they matter less than genetics in school life? Many of us, perhaps, could testify to the contrary!
