the primary goal is to investigate the nature and origins of individual differences in behavior.
Behavioral genetics
in every studied behavioral trait in any animal species, including humans is a function of both genetic and environmental factors which are varied.
Individual differences
The methods in this area are used to assess the relative roles of genes and environment in individual differences in behavior
quantitative genetics
these methods are used in animals and humans which allow phenotypic variation (observable characteristics) to be partitioned into genetic and environmental components to achieve desirable goals
selective breeding, inbreeding, and crossbreeding
- the manner of conducting oneself 2. anything that an organism does involving action and response to stimulation 3. The result of the effects of the environment to individual.
