Ch 3 - Genes & Behavior Flashcards
what traits are expressed
phenotype
what the genes say
genotype
identical twins aka
monozygotic
fraternal twins aka
dizygotic
genes do not play the only role in blank disorders
congenital
identical twins raised together are blank to identical twins raised together
similar
genes and environment do play a role in behavior but much is still blank
undetermined
height is blank percent genetic
60-80
weight is blank percent genetic
< 10
dna is made of these three things
base, sugar (phosphate), nucleotide
number of autosome pairs
22
number of chromosome pairs
23
much of the human genome has a blank purpose (blank percent)
unknown, 42%
obesity in mice is due to a blank deficiency
leptin
genes use blank to do blank
feedback loops, two things at once
three reasons it is hard to match genes to behavior
epigenetics, imprinting, environment interactions
if same mutation is received from mother you get
angelman syndrome
tagging with methyl groups and changes how things are turned into and transcribed into DNA
epigenetics
if same mutation is received from father you get
prader willi syndrome
some blank are associated with neurological disorders or neurological traits
genetic mutations
model that many genes put together can cause a disorder
common variant
model where one gene has the ability to cause a disorder but the gene itself is very rare
rare monogenic model
