3rd Teat Flashcards
Reaction range
The range of possible phenotypes for each genotype due to richness or restrictivness of the environment
Canalisation
Process of which characteristics take the narrow path, preservative forces help a person against environmental extremes
Passive genotypes environmental correlations
Level of anxiety and depression vs happiness.
Biological parents who are genetically related to child provide a rearing(bad) environment for child
MAOA-Gene
Sensitive and robust version, sensitive + traumatic childhood experiences = higher risk of aggressive/ violent behavior
Sensitive variant - traumatic experiences= more compassionate and empathic.

Has a sensitive and robust version, sensitive + childhood trauma = more likely to suffer depression and anxiety. Sensitive - childhood trauma = happier

They always override the recessive Gene’s
