Trinna and Suzanne are identical twins who were the same length at birth. They were adopted by different families at birth and then reconnected in their early thirties. Trinna is two inches shorter and was a severely selective eater as a child. A researcher was conducting an investigation about twins separated at birth. What research method and explanation best fit this scenario?

The best method of investigation that a scientist can use in an investigation of twins separated at birth - as in the case of Trinna and Suzanne - is a case study.

Explanation:

The case study is a qualitative research strategy that can be used in both biology, psychology and sociology, even combining these disciplines. Take an observed phenomenon, sometimes unique, looking for an explanation based on the examination and the elaboration of hypotheses.

Trinna, despite being an identical twin, developed a shorter stature and habits different from Suzanne, probably due to her growth in different environments.

The objective of the case study would be to demonstrate how the growth of twins in different settings may have caused physical and cultural differences in these identical twins.
