Document Summary

Study how heredity and environment contribute to human diferences. 3: molecular geneics, heritability how impact of genes change our behavior, gene environment interacion. Parts of dna molecules found in chromosomes in the nuclei of cells. Chromosomes: threadlike structure made largely of dna molecules. We receive half a set of chromosomes from each biological parent. Human genome includes 46 chromosomes in 23 pairs, each chromosome has the same gene locaion. Yet iny geneic diferences make a large change. 0. 001 percent diference would not match the crime scene // not the baby"s father. 0. 5 to 4 percent diference may be a chimpanzee. 50 percent diference may be a banana. *the geneic protein assembly can be turned on and of by the environment, or by other genes. To assess the impact of nature and nurture, study traits of siblings vs idenical twins. Studies of twins in adulthood show that idenical twins are more alike than fraternal twins in:
