Document Summary

Genotypes are inherited genes that are expressed through phenotypes, which are observable characteristics and behaviours. Sandra scarr and kathleen mccartney created the theory of genotype environment effects. Together they proposed the idea that a person"s genotype drives their experience. There are three types of genotype environment effects. It occurs when biological parents raise their child. Its effects decrease over time, promotes similarities in siblings and has inseparable effects of genetics and environment. For example, parents who are constantly uptight and worried about situations may lead their children to think and behave similarly, seeing as they are exposed to this kind of behaviour from an early age.
