Document Summary
Heredity: cultural and biological cultural inheritance: environmental and social conditions, parental/societal influences on growth, maturation, and performance, opportunity. Biological inheritance: influence of parental generation on offspring, = genetic influence. Genetic information: specifies sequence of amino acids. As we interpret sequence, we get protein synthesis. Phenotype development of phenotype is highly sensitive to opp/enviro. Phenotypes measured on a continuous scale: height and weight. People who don"t get pa don"t get the same stress on growth plates that is required to help kid reach potential height/weight. Can never fully control for environment in studies despite differences in appearance, humans share ~99. 9% genetic background less than 0. 1% variation in genetic makeup accounts for individual uniqueness. Monozygotic same sperm + egg, same placenta dizygotic two separate trajectories; separate placentas similarity between monozygotic but diff btwn dizygotic suggests genetic influence that caused that difference differences found in mz would be related to environment. Difficult to study directly because we can"t observe, must do it indirectly.
