A new study indicates that a susceptibility to gain weight may be written into the molecular processes of human cells. The proof-of-concept study with a set of 22 twins found an epigenetic signature in buccal or cheek cells appearing only for the twins who were obese compared to their thinner siblings.

## Explanation

A strong response clearly articulates the relationship between cellular molecular processes and physical health outcomes. It maintains a steady pace and accurate pronunciation of technical terms like epigenetic and susceptibility.

## Hints

- Focus on the pronunciation of complex biological terminology before you begin speaking.
- Ensure you pause briefly at commas to maintain natural phrasing and clarity.
