Presentation Transcript

  1. Unit 3c Genetics, Evolutionary, and Behavior

  2. the random error in gene replication that leads to a change.

  3. Mutation

  4. the interplay that occurs when the effect of one factor (such as environment) depends on another factor (such as heredity).

  5. Interaction

  6. the study of the evolution of behavior and the mind,using principles of natural selection.

  7. Evolutionary Psychology

  8. twins who develop from separate fertilized eggs. They are genetically no closer than brothers and sisters, but they share a fetal environment.

  9. Fraternal Twins

  10. the biochemical units of heredity that make up the chromosomes; segments of DNA capable of synthesizing a protein.

  11. Genes

  12. the complete instructions for making an organism, consisting of all the genetic material in that organism’s chromosomes.

  13. Genome

  14. every non-genetic influence, from prenatal nutrition to the people and things around us.

  15. Environment

  16. a complex molecule containing the genetic information that makes up the chromosomes.

  17. DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid)

  18. Nature vs Nurture is formally called…

  19. Behavior genetics

  20. threadlike structures made of DNA molecules that contain the genes.

  21. Chromosomes

  22. twins who develop from a single fertilized egg that splits in two, creating two genetically identical organisms.

  23. Identical Twins

  24. The extent to which a gene can be inherited.

  25. Heritability

  26. the subfield of biology that studies the molecular structure and function of genes.

  27. Molecular Genetics

  28. the principle that, among the range of inherited trait variations, those that lead to increased reproduction and survival will most likely be passed on to succeeding generations.

  29. Natural Selection
