Document Summary
Blueprint for a protein (code) (protein is a building block of body tissue) Large conglomerate of dna, 23 from each parent, contain the genes. Any observable trait (behavioral, environment, genes combination) Ex: flamingos turn pink because they eat shrimp (phenotype), but they are born grey (genotype) Ex: genotype for brown and blue eyes, phenotype of brown eyes. 99. 9% genes in common between all humans. Humans have all their brain cells they will ever have/need when they are born (some controversy due to mice"s ability) Attachment to a parent figure is driven by the fact they supply food. Made up fake mothers- wire mother (provided food) and soft cloth mother. Threatened baby with novel object and baby ran to cloth mother, so it"s not just about food it"s about comfort (attachment not related to food) Children have different forms of attachment to caregivers.
