| 12286411143 | behavior genetics | study of relative power and limits of genetic and environmental influences on behavior | 0 | |
| 12286411144 | environment | every non genetic influence, from pre natal nutrition to the people and things around us | 1 | |
| 12286411145 | chromosome | threadlike structures made of DNA molecules that contain the genes |  | 2 |
| 12286411146 | DNA (deoxyribose nucleic acid) | complex molecule containing the genetic information that makes up the chromosomes |  | 3 |
| 12286411147 | Genes | biochemical units of hereditary that make up the chromosomes; segments of DNA capable of synthesizing a protein -can be either active or inactive -provides coding for protein molecules |  | 4 |
| 12286411148 | genome | complete instructions for making an organism, consisting of all the genetic material in that organisms chromosomes | 5 | |
| 12286411149 | twin adoption studies | two types of experiments: 1. control home environment while varying hereditary 2. control hereditary while varying home environment | 6 | |
| 12286411150 | Identical twins | twins who develop from a single (monozygotic) fertilized egg that splits in two, creating two genetically identical organisms, but do not always have the same number of copied genes | 7 | |
| 12286411151 | fraternal twins | twins who develop from separate (dizygotic) fertilized eggs, they are genetically no closer than brothers and sisters, but they share a fetal environment | 8 | |
| 12286411152 | temperament | a persons characteristic emotional reactivity and intensity, biologically rooted temperament helps from our enduring personality | 9 | |
| 12286411153 | molecular genetics | sub field of biology that studies the molecular structure and function of genes, genetic tests reveal at risk populations for many diseases | 10 | |
| 12286411154 | heritability | proportion of variation among individuals that we can attribute to genes - the heritability of a trait may vary, depending on the range of populations and environments studied - behavior genetics estimate heritability of a trait | 11 | |
| 12286411155 | interaction | interplay that occurs when the effect of one factor (such as an environment) depends on another factor (such as heredity) | 12 | |
| 12286411156 | epigenetics | study of influences on gene expressions that occur without a DNA change | 13 | |
| 12286411157 | evolutionary psychology | study of evolution or behavior and the mind, using principles of natural selection | 14 | |
| 12286411164 | Nature vs Nurture | They work together; genes and environment genes are the bullets, environment is the trigger | 15 | |
| 12286411165 | Identical Twins | Monozygotic develop from a single fertilized egg that splits into 2 Genetically identical Same genes BUT don't have same # of copies of genes Different placentas = different amounts of nutrients | 16 | |
| 12286411166 | Fraternal Twins | Dizygotic develop from separate fertilized eggs Separated fraternal twins do not exhibit similarities comparable to separate identical twins | 17 |
