| 194073019 | Chromosomes | threadlike structures made of DNA molecules that contain the genes. | |
| 194073020 | DNA | ): a complex molecule containing genetic information that makes up the chromosomes. | |
| 194073021 | Genes | : the biochemical units of heredity that make up chromosomes, a segment of DNA capable of synthesizing a protein | |
| 194073022 | Behavior Genetics | : the study of the relative power and limits of genetic and environmental influences on behavior. | |
| 194073023 | Enviroment | every no genetic influence, from prenatal nutrition to the people and things around us. | |
| 194073024 | Identical twins | : twins who developed from single zygote that splits into two. | |
| 194073025 | Fraternal Twins | : twins who develop from separate eggs. Genetically no closer than brothers and sisters but share a fetal environment | |
| 194073026 | Interaction | the effect of one factor (such as environment) depends on another factor (such as heredity) | |
| 194073027 | Molecular Genetics | the subfield of biology that studies the molecular structure and function of genes. | |
| 194073028 | Genome | the complete instructions for making an organism, consisting of all the genetic material in its chromosomes. (blue print) | |
| 194073029 | Phenotype | An organism's physical appearance, or visible traits | |
| 194073030 | Genotype | The combination of genes for one or more specific traits | |
| 194073031 | Heritability | the proportion of phenotypic variation (difference) in a population attributable to genetic factors | |
| 194073032 | Evolutionary Psychology | a discussion of how genes and the environment interact and how genes change to fit the environment; how traits that have led to survival are more likely to be passed down | |
| 194073033 | Natural Selection | the process by which individuals that are better adapted to their environment survive and reproduce more successfully than less well adapted individuals do | |
| 194073034 | Mutation | Certain biological and behavioral variations increase organisms' reproductive and survival chances in their particular environment |
