|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| show | emphasizes the importance of adaptation, reproduction, and “survival of the fittest” in shaping behavior
🗑

||||
| chromosomes | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | a complex molecule that contains genetic information
🗑
|
||||
| genes | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | cellular reproduction in which the cell’s nucleus duplicates itself with two new cells being formed, each containing the same DNA as the parent cell, arranged in the same 23 pairs of chromosomes
🗑
|
||||
| show | a specialized form of cell division that occurs to form eggs and sperm (or gametes)
🗑
|
||||
| show | a stage in reproduction whereby an egg and a sperm fuse to create a single cell, called a zygote
🗑
|
||||
| zygote | show 🗑
|
||||
| genotype | show 🗑
|
||||
| phenotype | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | a chromosomally transmitted form of mental retardation, caused by the presence of an extra copy of chromosome 21
🗑
|
||||
| klinefelter syndrome | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | a genetic disorder involving an abnormality in the X chromosome, which becomes constricted and, often, breaks
🗑
|
||||
| turner syndrome | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | a chromosomal disorder in which males have an extra Y chromosome
🗑
|
||||
| show | a genetic disorder in which an individual cannot properly metabolize an amino acid. It is now easily detected but, if left untreated, results in mental retardation and hyperactivity
🗑
|
||||
| sickle-cell anemia | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | the field that seeks to discover the influence of heredity and environment on individual differences in human traits and development
🗑
|
||||
| show | a study in which the behavioral similarity of identical twins is compared with the behavioral similarity of fraternal twins
🗑
|
||||
| show | a study that invests whether, in behavior and psychological characteristics, adopted children are more like their adoptive parents, who provided a home entertainment, or more like their biological parents, who contributed their heredity
🗑
|
||||
| passive genotype-environmental correlations | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | correlations that exist when the natural parents, who are genetically related to the child, provide a rearing environment for the child
🗑
|
||||
| show | correlations that exist when children seek out environments they find compatible and stimulating
🗑
|
||||
| shared environmental experiences | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | the child’s own unique experiences, both within the family and outside the family, that are not shared by another sibling. Thus, experiences occurring within the family can be part of the “nonshared environment”
🗑
|
||||
| show | emphasizes that development is the result of an ongoing, bidirectional interchange between heredity and environment
🗑
