Document Summary
Genes and the environment: a dialectical synthesis. A way of thinking in which contradictions are seen to be part of a higher. 2 ways genes and environments influence each other. Occurs when a genotype responds differently to an environment. Occurs when a genotype is exposed differently to an environment. We might be unable to see the joint effects of genes and environment in a single individual, we can explore only genotype- environment interactions and genotype-environment correlations within a population. In practice, it is sometimes difficult to distinguish genotype- environment interactions from genotype-environment correlations. This interaction is taking place when people respond differently to the same environment because of their differing genetic makeup. The environment has a different impact depending on the persons genotype. Peoples personalities affects the environment they found themselves in and how they describes those environments. A focus on the brain and the nervous system. Regulates smooth muscle, cardiac muscles and glands.
