Twin studies are often used in the research of human behavioral traits. Although helpful, there are limitations to these studies. All of the following are limitations to twin studies EXCEPT: Traits are assumed to be simple Mendelian inheritance, discounting additive alleles and epistasis Dizygotic twins will often share more than 50% of their genes Monozygotic twins are often treated more similarity than dizygotic twins O Twins studies are a mechanism to understand the genetic and environmental components of a trait Twins reared apart are often adopted out to families of similar income, ethnicity, and religion
Which of the following is an example of environmental impacts on the expression of traits? Heterozygous individuals of a plant species have pink flowers, whereas homozygous individuals have either red or white flowers. An individual’s blood type depends on the interaction of the alleles A, B, or O. Animal coat color shifts in response to seasonal changes in day length and temperature.
Why is the influence of environment significant to phenotype?
Write a short explanatory essay on the following statement: “Incases of genetically programmed phenotypic plasticity, naturalselection acts on the norm of reaction. Thus the norm of reactionas a whole—rather than any one phenotype—determines ifselection is positive or negative.”
Phenotypic plasticity is variation caused by what? Can genotypes have variations or different reaction norms?
discuss the interaction of heredity and environment inproducing individual traits.
What is concordance? For a polygenic or multifactorial trait such as behavior, why are identical (monozygous) twins studied? What is the advantage of studying identical twins reared apart? What should be the concordance in identical twins raised apart if a trait is purely genetic with no environmental influence? What are some genetic conditions or chromosomal abnormalities that cause changes in behavior?For example, Huntington disease; Fragile X syndrome. What is schizophrenia and why is it considered multifactorial? What is autism? Major depression? Bipolar disorder? What is: the purpose of our immune system? Our first line of defense against infection? • What are some differences between our innate immune system, and our adaptive immune system? What is an antigen? An antibody? Which cells make antibodies? What is a memory B cell? How do vaccines work? Why must HLA be matched for a successful organ transplant? Why is it difficult to find a good match?
According to Amar J. S. Klar, is there a such thing as “left handedness”? What is the preferred term? Describe how the genetics works, according to his hypothesis. What are the alleles, and which combinations of alleles make for which type of hand use?

The nature versus nurture debate is one of the oldest issues in psychology. The debate centers on the relative contributions of genetic inheritance and environmental factors to human development. Discuss five environmental factors that may affect the growth and development of humans and their educational implications .
How are genotypes and phenotypes related? Both determine differences in genetic makeup. Genotypes determine the phenotypes expressed. Phenotypes determine the genotypes expressed. Both determine the alleles individuals receive.
