How does evolution by natural selection differ from lamarcks view of evolution?
Lamark believed that behaviors learned by parents could become inheritable traits.
Personality traits are influenced from a combination of heredity and .?
Both what is in your genes and the environment produce various personality traits.
How are genetics involved in the theory of evolution?
Finding out how exactly traits are passed on to offspring - with variation - filled in a gap in the understanding of evolution that Darwin pioneered. Darwin did not know or understand how it could come to be that traits propagated through the generations with only minor variations, without blending. He could only assume that there was some mechanism that facilitated this propagation. His fear was that further research into genetics would show that sexual reproduction blends traits. Had that been the case, then evolutionary theory would have been falsified. In stead, what we learned about genetics - starting with Mendel, and culminating in the findings of Watson and Crick - confirmed what we'd learned about evolution in great detail.
What is the simple predicate in The scientists have learned respect for the insects?
have learned
Do you hate genetics?
No. It is a subject to be looked at and learned about. If it can be embraced, so much the better. We have a lot of things that we can do with it. Certainly no genetic disease can be cured without it. And its promises are blindingly bright. But it can be misused or abused. And with the advent of genetically engineered critters for biological warfare, it may kill us all. Love it, or hate it, there is no reason not to learn all you can about it. And it is easier to learn about something you don't hate than something you do.
Factors contributing to communication apprehension?
shyness, heredity, learned,
Did Mendel learn something?
he became the father of the genetics; i would hope he would have learned about genetics and how to trace them back.
How is instinct different from a learned behavior?
This is the psychological nature vs nurture concept. A learned behavior is considered nurture, you arent born with it therefore its learned. An instinct however is considered nature because you were born with it and it is in your genes. In other words an instinct would be something you are predispositioned to by heredity. With animals this would also have to do with natural selection. They carry on genes that help them survive, ie instincts. Amanda

What have psychologists learned about schizophrenia by combining the results of twins adoption and family studies?
They have learned that schizophrenia has a strong genetic component, but that there are also other factors than genetics involved.
Is it true that only traits that are learned can be acted upon in natural selection?
all i know is that its False
What is the key lesson scientist learned about evolution by natural selection?
different species originated from other species
How do things change over time?
They adapt and evolve through the process of natural selection and learned behaviours.
How do living things change over time?
They adapt and evolve through the process of natural selection and learned behaviours.
Where did Darwin learn about plants and animals?
darwin first learned about genetics by studying pea plants he was a monk in a monistary in australia that where he learned about plants and animals and how they got their features (i just studied this, SPOKEN FROM A REAL 12 YEAR OLD!!)
Why should scientists continue to study genetics?
Because there is lots more to be learned about it. And because some of that knowledge may be useful to us in more direct ways.
