Document Summary

But proximate questions may be answered with experimental studies much better than ultimate ones. With or without a motor command, many things are capable of change in the brain. All behaviors cannot be explained simply by molecular mechanisms in the brain.

How we read the gene allows us to transcribe certain proteins. The nucleotide sequence tells us what proteins it will make. The amino acid sequence tells us what the protein will look like. Everything about the gene comes from the amino acid structure of the protein. Genes influence behavior; there is a discrete link between nucleotide sequence and behavior, but it is not a direct one on one connection. If the behavior is good for reproductive fitness then the organism will have a selective advantage.
