Document Summary
Cultural inheritance: environmental and social conditions parental/societal influences on growth, maturation, and performance. Biological inheritance: influence of parental generation on offspring. Despite difference in appearance, humans share 99. 9% common genetic background. Genome project: have been able to identify genes responsible for a multitude of things. Genetic information specifies sequence of amino acids proteins that make up our body (protein synthesis: amino acids go through transcription and translation and build. Genotype + environment affects phenotype: environmental factors can affect whether we reach our genetic potential. Twin frequency genotype: phenotypes measured on a continuous scale. Fraternal (boy and girl) make up 40% of all twins. Least common type of twin is identical twin boys: height and weight measured can only measure output of. = could explain 49% of their variation therefore, there is only a 50% Would only have 40% chance of being same height as coefficient.
