Culture
100
The possibility of a trait appearing or developing in a human.
What are predispositions?
100
The factor which influences our food selection, religion, family activities, and dress.
What is culture?
100
This type of culture would be more worried about what their parents think of their behavior.
What is collectivist?
100
This type of culture would seek more personal independence and be more accepting of diverse ideas.
What is individualist?
100
This research tactic helps scientists explain the influences of both nature and nurture.
What are twin/adoption studies?
200
The total number of chromosomes each human has.
What is 46?
200
This group has more power over cooperation, popularity, and ways of interacting with others.
What are peers?
200
This group has the most influence when it comes to education, discipline, responsibility, and charitableness.
What are parents?
200
This conclusion would explain a situation such as the level of shyness being more similar between identical twins rather than fraternal twins.
What is a genetically predisposed trait?
200
This contributes to the most genetic diversity.
What are mutations?
300
The shared attitudes, beliefs, norms, and behaviors of a group communicated from one generation to the next.
What is culture?
300
Giving priority to the goals of the group and defining personal identity accordingly.
What is collectivism?
300
Giving priority to personal goals over group goals, and defining identity in terms of personal attributes rather than group identification.
What is individualism?
300
Twins who develop from two different fertilized eggs; they are genetically no more similar than any other pair of siblings.
What are fraternal twins?
300
The central question for behavior geneticists.
Is human development more influenced by chromosomes (nature) or nurture?
400
The degree to which traits are inherited.
What is heritability?
400
The study of the relative effects of genes and environment on our behavior.
What is behavior genetics?
400
Twins who develop from from a single fertilized egg that splits in two, creating organisms with the same genes.
What are identical twins?
400
Threadlike structures that made of DNA molecules that contain our genes.
What are chromosomes?
400
Understood rules for accepted and expected behavior.
What are norms?
500
A mother contributes 23 of these to her child.
What are chromosomes?
500
These biochemical unites of heredity make up chromosomes.
What are genes?
500
Random errors in gene replication that lead to changes in an individual's genetic code.
What are mutations?
500
A complex molecule containing the genetic information that makes up the chromosomes.
What is DNA?
500
Every non-genetic influence, from prenatal nutrition to the people and things around us.
What is environment?
