Chapter 7, 8 and 10

Question 1

statistical significance

Answer 1

what is the reliability of that certain event

Question 2

effect size

Answer 2

how much genetics contributes to a trait
individual differences for a trait in population

Question 3

heritability

Answer 3

estimates the genetic effect size, accounted by heretic differences among different people

= 2( rmz- rdz)

Question 4

concordances

Answer 4

index of a risk, estimate the risk for disorders

Question 5

liability-threshold model

Answer 5

used to translate concordances into correlations

Question 6

model fitting

Answer 6

test importance between how much is genetic and environment related

Question 7

structural equation model

Answer 7

testing a conceptual or theoretical model

Question 8

SNP heritability

Answer 8

compares the similarity of genes across hundreds of single nucleotide polymorphisms.

Question 9

environmentality

Answer 9

accounted by environmental influences

Question 10

shared environmental influences

Answer 10

nongenetic influenced which make families similar

Question 11

nonshared environmental influences

Answer 11

are uncorrelated for family memebers, not everyone in the family could be the same

Question 12

genetic correlation

Answer 12

what are the genetic influences on one trait that correlates with the influence of another trait genetically
