Document Summary
-example: you see different types (sized differently ) of guppy in the upstream and downstream. -example 2: xenophobia( rejection of same specices, even different genders in more frequent in the arid environment. -same process happens viral vector to transfer( insert) a gene into the animal of interested to study a behaviour. Caus you suspect hat this gene is responsible for this behaviour. --measure heritability ? two ways to do controlled breeding experiment (how between them and you : the slope is the heritability) --note for "language" , though you see. 1 parent offspring regression ( let parent breed and test the similarity strong linearship between parent trait and your truant, ie, slope is explicit, and indicate there should be heritability for language, your h^2 is still zero. Example: the group size preference in the colonial-breeding cliff swallow ( do the offspring choose to go with same sized colony as the genetic parents, or the rear parents?)
