Genetic
The idea that knowledge of a person's complete DNA sequence will enable all their characteristics to be known and their problems predicted.
"What is genetic astrology"
Theory that an organism can pass on phenotypes acquired in lifetime to offspring
"What is Lamarckian Inheritance?"
The ability for magpie tanager (Cissopis leveriana) to learn singing from others in its species is an example of ______ learning.
“What is imitative learning?”
The rule bound system in which signs refer to objects, processes and relations in the world but also evoke other symbols in the same system
“What is a Symbolic System?”
In these diseases, a small DNA change makes a qualitative difference in a protein, which leads to the malfunction of the system.
"What are monogenic diseases"
Transmission from mother cell to daughter cell of variations that are not the result of DNA differences
"What is Cellular Epigenetic Inheritance?"
The ability for Koshima macaques to learn to wash sweet potatoes is an example of _____ learning
“What is non-imitative learning?”
According to Richard Dawkins, memes are replicators and are comparable to _____
“What are genes?”
Research on the origins of DNA variation challenges the idea that all variations in ______ are blind or “random”
"What are DNA mutations?"
Mechanisms that actively maintain differing gene expression patterns, structural organization, complex metabolic states, and enables transmission to daughter cells
"What are Epigenetic Inheritance Systems (EIS)"
The idea that each generation must display a phenotype in order to be transmitted is an example of what type of information transmission.
“What is Body-Body information transmission?”
The idea that cultural units of information reside in the brain have phenotypic effects in the form of behaviors or cultural products and move from brain to brain through imitation.
“What are memetics?”
Besides messenger, enzymatic, and regulatory functions, this can also act as hereditary material, which is then passed form mother cells to daughter cells
"What is RNA"
Exposure of pregnant female rats to this endocrine disruptor affected male fertility in subsequent generations
"What is vinclozolin?"
The term that aspects such as food preferences, choices of habitat and mate, parenting style, and pair bonding are based on learning mechanisms shared with other mammals
"What are Social learning mechanisms?"
This cultural theory stresses the universal aspects of human specific propensities and behavior and focuses on the genetically evolved basis of the human cultural ability.
“What is Evolutionary Psychology”
Example that there can be repeatable and wide ranging specific, genomic and chromosomal changes, when two genomes from different sources meet.
“What is Plant Hybridization”
Proteins and small chemical groups that attach onto DNA, influencing gene activity. It then segregates with DNA strands during replication and nucleate the reconstruction of similar marks in daughter cells.
"What are Chromatin Markings"
These epigenetically-mediated changes to intrinsic neuronal excitability may consolidate behavioral learning.
"What is LPT (long term potentiation) and/or LPD (long term depression)?"
Two people who make development much more central in cultural transmission/innovation and acknowledge the direct effects of developmental learning mechanisms on cultural evolution
"Who are Richerson and Boyd?"
