BIOLOGY 1M03 Lecture Notes - Lecture 22: Dihybrid Cross, Sensory Cue, Microevolution
Document Summary
Lecture 2 - dr. quinn - bio 1m03. What is it that explains behaviour: 1) ask as an proximate question. Basis of behaviour, environmental affect and genetic affects: in simpler terms, there is a learned element and a genetic element, there is a continuum, any behaviour falls along that continuum, We won"t talk about epigenetic affects like methylation affects that turn off some genes through generations. Slide 5 - evidence for a genetic component to behaviour. Deprivation experiments: experiment where animal is taken, prevented from learning anything, raising it in isolation, we would then test it to see if it has the ability to do the behaviour that it would have been taught. Thursday, march 2, 2017: limiting the environmental component in these studies. 2) spider webs, young spiders don"t learn how to make webs, To what extent should learning be important to the situation and how do genes in uence our behaviour.
