Document Summary
People attract/select different experiences based on their genes. Genes can determine how sensitive you are to the environment. Environment can influence genetic expression through epigenetic markers. Gene is shorter or longer and produce more or less transporter protein does not mean you will or will not develop depression the gene itself does not mean you will develop depression. In probable or severe maltreatment and contain the short gene more sensitive to the gene and will more likely develop depression. Short allele more likely to develop depression. Long allele less likely to develop depression. The study of cellular and physiological trait variations that are not caused by changes in the dna sequence above the level of genetics. The study of external or environmental factors that turn genes on and off and affect how cells read genes can increase or decrease the likelihood that the gene will be transcribe and produce a protein.
