- Which of the following statements is INCORRECT? Sex-limited traits affect a structure or process that is found in one sex but not in the other. Sex-influenced traits appear in both sexes. Expression of sex-influenced traits may differ between sexes because of hormonal differences. Pattern baldness is autosomal recessive in men, but autosomal dominant in women. Which of the following statements is NOT TRUE of complete androgen insensitivity syndrome (CAIS)? There is loss of function of the X-linked AR gene specifying the androgen receptor in males. Affected males cannot produce testosterone. Affected males have external genitalia that assume the default female state. Persons with CAIS are externally female but sterile because they lack the internal duct systems of either sex. Which of the following statements is INCORRECT? In human females, XX cells inactivate one of their two X chromosomes due to dosage compensation. About two weeks after fertilization, each cell…arrow_forwardList some challenges associated with studying the genetics of behavior, and explain how linkage analysis, microarrays, and genome-wide association studies address some of those challengesarrow_forwardMost sheep have the ability to grow coats of wool that vary in their thickness depending on the ambient temperatures that they experience. This is an aspect of phenotypic plasticity, variability in the phenotype that can be triggered by the experiences of the organism. When referring to a sheep that has grown more wool in a cold climate than its parents living in a warm one, what term best describes this? (NOTE: look back at chapter 25, if you are having trouble remembering) O Adaptation Intersexual selection Intrasexual selection Acclimitization Gene Fixationarrow_forward

Why does this form work better? Why would Classical Conditioning help someone in their daily life functioning? Which form of conditioning would you most likely see in a classroom setting? Create your own examples of each form of conditioning. Be sure to include the following information in your answer. In addressing classical conditioning: Identify UCS, UCR, NS, CS, and CR. Discuss any stimulus generalization that you observed. Discuss any extinction and spontaneous that occurred. In addressing operant conditioning: Identify negative and positive reinforcements and punishments. Label the schedule of reinforcement or punishment.arrow_forward
- The father of three sons and two daughters begins to show symptoms of Huntington disease. What is the probability that Sam, the man’s second oldest son (II-2), will suffer from the disease if he lives a normal life span? Sam’s mother and her ancestors do not have the disease. Sam's father was adopted, so we do not know his biological family history for Huntington disease. Explore all possible outcomes for Sam and explain your reasoning. What about the risk to Sam's sisters? Would that be the same or not?arrow_forwardWhat's the non trivial problem with Carleton Coon's work in the article of Race is real, But it’s not genetic ?arrow_forwardIn the context of genetic influence on individual differences, the degree of genetic influence typically a. increases from infancy through childhood, and then decreases from childhood through adulthood. b. decreases from infancy through adulthood. c. remains stable from infancy through adulthood. d. increases from infancy through adulthood.arrow_forward
