Q

what will the outermost layer of cells form of an embryo during the embryonic period form?

A

the ectoderm will become the nervous system, sensory receptors (ears, nose, and eye, e.g.), and skin parts (e.g. hair and nails)

101
Q

what is twin study

A

behavioral similarity of identical and fraternal twins is compared

102
Q

what is adoption study

A

seeks to discover whether behavioral and psychological characteristics of adopted children are more like their
- adoptive parents who provide a home environment
- biological parents who contributed their heredity

103
Q

what is the passive genotype in correlation of heredity-environment

A

children inherit genetic tendencies from their parents, and parents, and also can provide an environment that matches their own genetic tendencies
*e.g. Musically inclined parents usually have musically inclined children, and they are likely to provide an environment rich in music for their children. *

104
Q

what is evocative genotype in heredity-environment correlations

A

the Childs genetic tendencies elicit stimulation from the environment that supports a particular trait. Thus, genes evoke environmental support
e.g. a happy, outgoing child elicits smiles and friendly responses from others

105
Q

what is (niche-picking) Active genotype-environment in heredity-environment correlations

A

children actively seek out niches in their environment that reflect their own interests and talents and are thus in accord with their genotype
Libraries, sports fields, and a
store with musical instruments
are For Examples of environmental niches children
might seek out if they have
intellectual interests in books,
talent in sports, or musical
talents, respectively.

106
Q

what is epigenetic view

A

development is the result of an ongoing bidirectional interchange between heredity and environment to produces a person wellbeing (e.g. intelligence, temperature, health,+)

107
Q

what is one way that gene x environment (GXE) interact with the epignetic view

A
  • heredity and environment influence development and interactions of specific DNA sequences
  • Epigenetic mechanisms involve molecular modification of DNA
    strand as a result of environmental inputs in ways that alter
    gene functioning.

Q

what can happen if someone has the short version of the 5-HTTLPR (gene involving the neurotransmitter serotonin)?

A
