What is meiosis?
This studies are used to distinguish greater heritability
what are both twin and adoption studies?
Why are MZ studies so valuable?
Why are DZ studies so valuable? Why can't we just compare siblings?
This is a change in the way genes are expressed due to the ______ factor hooking to the histone tail and can be passed onto the next generation.
What is epigenetics?
Why is it possible that this effects generations?
Even though HM had his hippocampus removed, he was able to still do tasks that use this kind of memory.
What part of the brain makes this possible?
Dolphins and sharks, different species with common traits, is an example of which kind of traits?
What are analogous traits?
What kind of evolution is this an example of?
This is the alleles you have for a trait; while this is the expressed trait
What is genotype and phenotype
Explain heterozygous and homozygous, dominant and recessive
MZ twins separated at birth who have the same expressed trait prove that the expressed trait has this heritability.
What is HIGH heritability?
These cells help with spatial recognition.
What are place cells?
Where are they found?
This area of the brain stores semantic, episodic, and priming memory
What is the cortex?
What are the other parts of the brain that are involved in memory storage?
Mutations in a monomorphic species leads to two different color beetles, after a few generations only one color beetle remains which is proof of what Darwinian theory.
What is natural selection?
A colorblind mother and unaffected father have what percent chance of having a colorblind son?
What is 100%? WHY?
What is the chance of this pairing having an affected daughter?
And a carrier daughter? Is it possible for a son to be a carrier?
DZ twins raised together who have a trait that is expressed differently proves the trait has what heritability.
What is HIGH heritability?
Both bright and dull rats performed poorly, making many errors in this environment.
What is the restricted environment?
What did we learn from this?
Glutamate activates both NMDA and AMPA receptors, but this makes the post synaptic cells more likely to be activated in the future.
What is the increased number of AMPA receptors?
The longer an AMPA is open, the more WHAT enters the cell? What does this trigger? (hint AP) What changes occur in the NMDA receptors?
This has caused the increase in heritability of myopia.
What are medical advancements? (Or what are glasses)
Why has it changed?
This is the process in which codons are read to create amino acid chains that create proteins
What is translation?
Where does this occur?
How is transcription different?
An adopted child has a similar expressed trait, such as personality, to their adopted parent. I can state that personality has this heritability.
What is LOW heritability?
If I removed your hippocampus, you would have difficulty with this part of learning and memory.
What is retain new memories? Why?
Procedural memory relies more on what two areas of the brain?
This ion caused the insertion of new AMPA receptors on the post synaptic cell membrane, enhancing LTP
What is calcium?
Does the calcium influx cause genetic changes?
When hybrids, such as mules, can't reproduce, it is an example of what type of evolutionary pressure?
What is hybrid incompatibility?
This type of mutation results in the most significant changes to protein production.
What is a frameshift mutation?
What are the two ways a frameshift mutation can occur? WHY does this mutation result in the most significant changes?
The percent of variance in a population attributed to genetic differences.
What is heritability?
HOW is heredity different?
Rats prefer novel experiences. In this test, rats spent more time with unfamiliar rats indicating remembrance of the familiar rat.
What is the social memory test?
What type of long term memory does this prove?
declarative
What test was used to prove procedural memory?
radial arm maze test
One day you are walking in the forest. You are feeling a bit hungry but did not pack a lunch. You see some tasty-looking red small red berries on a bush nearby. So, you pluck a handful off and eat them. About 20 minutes later you start to feel very ill and get sick. Really sick. From that day forward, whenever you see any kind of food that is small, round, and red, you avoid it like the plague. In fact, your reaction is almost like a reflex. You might even develop a dislike for strawberries and tomatoes. Maybe even the sight of the inside of a watermelon makes you feel queasy. The theory that explains this is
What is associative learning (or classical conditioning)?
What is the unconditioned stimulus?
Unconditioned response?
Conditioned stimulus?
Conditioned response?
This is most likely the reason for speciation to occur.
What is geographic isolation?
