ch 2 text book bruh Flashcards
evolutionary psych
adaption, reproduction, survival of the fittest shapes behavior
david buss argued
evolution impacts how we make decisions
extended childhood period might have evolved bc
humans require time to develop brain and learn about society
gain experience
paul bates said the benefits by evolutionary selection - with age
decrease
as adults age the need for
culture increase
culture like literacy, medical technology, and social support
evolutionary psych critic
untestable and relies on after the fact explanations
social behavior is not strictly biology
evolution takes so damn long
bidirectional view
environmental and bio conditions influence each other
environment made us evolve to use tools
activity of genes can be influenced by their
environment
like stress exercise nutrition and sttuff
mitosis
cell reproduce
23 chromo pairs
meiosis
forms eggs and sperm
23 unpaired chromos
zygote
egg and sperm come together to do this
variability sources of genetics
crossing over/recombination durring miosis
random mutation
genetic imprinting
genes have diff effect based on inheritance from mother or father
klinefelter syndrome
chromosomal disorder
extra x chromosome
underdeveloped tests, breast, tall
1/1000
fragile x syndrome
chromosomal disorder
mental deficinency
maybe looks like a learning disorder
more in males
turner sydnrome
x chromo missing
females are short and webbed neck
verbally good, math bad
xxy syndrome
y extra y chromosome
phenylketonuria
cant metabolize phenylalanine
resessive
treat by diet
untreated lead to intellectual disability and hyperactivity
sickle cell
sickled red blood cells cant carry oxygen
behavior genetics
heredity and environment impact on behavior
twin studies
compare behav similarities bn identical and fratneral twins
twin studies complecations
environments of identical twins more similar than frat twins
parents might stress similarities more
epigenetic view
development is a result of ongoing bidirectional interchange bn genes an denviornemnt
gene x environment interaction
he interaction of a specific measured variation in DNA and a specific measured aspect of the environment
