PSYA01H3 Chapter Notes - Chapter 3.1: Trisomy, Behavioural Genetics, Guanine
Document Summary
3. 1 genetic and evolutionary perspectives: genetics and experience never independent (nature-nurture question are not 2 exclusive possibilities, genes. Basic units of heredity; genes are responsible for guiding the process of creating the proteins that make up our physical structures and regulate development and physiological processes throughout the lifespan: dna (deoxyribonucleic acid) Molecule formed in a double-helix shape that contains four nucleotides: adenine, cytosine, guanine, and thymine (a,c,g,t: genotype comprise that individual"s genetic code (agcctaat) Genetic makeup of an organism the unique set of genes that: phenotype variation (eye colour, shape & size of facial features, personality) Physical traits or behavioural characteristics that show genetic: chromosomes genes an individual inherits. The study of dna and the ways in which specific genes. Behavioural genomics are related to behaviour behaviour. Study of how genes and the environment influence. Come from a single ovum (egg), which makes them. Twins provide best way to study behavioural genetics genetically identical (almost 100% genetic similarity)
