Explain how nurture and nature can contribute to the development of obesity. What are the two most convincing pieces of evidence that both genetic and environmental factors play significant roles in the development of obesity?

Explanation:

Obesity is a condition in which the individual becomes overweight. The main factors contributing to obesity are both genes and the food intake. As obesity has been found as genetically inherited trait in human beings the trait will pass from parents to offsprings. The food intake also contributes to the fact that how a body has been nurtured, that is if a person consumes fat rich diet on daily basis he is expected to gain overweight.

A research experiment was conducted on the identical twins who were nurtured at different geographical locations they were kept on controlled diet conditions but they showed same pattern of weight gain. This indicates that genes play important role in development of obesity.
