How much do scientists know about genes?
We so know what genes people have, and we know what genes many other species have. We also know what some of these genes do, and we even know in some cases how they do it. But there is a great deal that we don't know. At a guess, we only know 1% of the full explanation of what genes do and how they do it.
What is being selected in natural selection?
The individual, or the genes of the individual. All organisms are variants in phenotype and behavior. So, natural selection is the immediate environment these organisms are in and those that survive and reproduce better in this environment leave more descendants which carry the genes that promoted that survival and reproduction advantage. Then those genes are more represented in the populations gene pool and this is evolution.
Are a person's genes or upbringing more important?
Upbringing, if parental care is meant, influences personality little, but other things, like overall happiness, are important products of parental care. The environment, especially the unique environment, is as important as the genes in all human traits. It is not a dichotomy and it is nature via nurture. What we measure is the squared variance from the mean, the differences in influence. We do not measure and can not measure the positive weight of either genes or environment influencing people.
Why are there so many phenotypes in polygenic inheritance?
Polygenic means many genes are influencing one trait. So, the inheritance of this gives you are all sorts of combination of genes that are expressed in various phenotypes. As example think of the different heights of siblings. There are 5 to 7 genes that influence height and in the same relative environment of siblings you get many combinations of those genes which express themselves in different height same sex siblings.
What types of evidence do scientists use to place an organism on a phylogenic tree and what does that placemnt tell you?
They use dna for sure and they may or may not use similar specification of genes
What are the genes?
Genes are the sections of DNA that code for a functional product, such as a protein. They interact with an organism's environment to produce traits.
What two things interact to cause innate behavior?
poopy poopy poo
What have scientists discovered about simple genes like bacteria?
Bacteria are living organisms not genes, your question does not make sense.
A behavioral geneticist would design research studies to determine?
the degree to which genes and environment interact to shape behavior.
What can affect an organism trait?
genes and the environment
Are you like you are because of your genes or your environment?
Nature-Nurture question. Apex.
At least how many genes must interact to produce a trait?
At least _____ genes must interact to produce a trait.
What psychological approach studies how your genes hormones and nervous system interact with the environment to influence behavior and mental processes?
the section of mind whales.
Why do scientists say that the environment selects the traits that allow an organism the survive and reproduce?
That is how organism adapts to changes in the environment in order for it to stay alive and continue its genes through its offspring.
Are you like you because of your genes or because of your environment This is a main concern of?
Nature-Nurture question. Apex.
Why does natural selection not directly affect genes?
Natural selection acts on the way organisms interact with one another and with their environment. The genes of organisms are not usually themselves involved in this interaction: they direct it through intermediaries such as proteins. So natural selection must work through these intermediaries to affect genes.
Manipulation of genes that allows scientists to put genes from one organism into another organism?
i think its called intercourse between scientists
