What else can I help you with?
Are you like you are because of your genes or your environment?
Nature-Nurture question. Apex.
What approach did European settlers in America often take toward their physical environment?
There was really no concern for the environment as there is nowadays. European settlers treated the environment like they did in Europe.
Does genes play a more important role in personality traits than environment?
The best way to test the effect of genetic versus environment is to conduct studies in identical twins because one can never hold environment perfectly constant, but identical twins are perfect genetic matches. Studies show that behavioral traits like sexual preference, depression, schizophrenia and other cognitive and behavioral disorders and even preferences are mostly shaped by environment, and have a very minor genetic component.
Explain how interactions between genes and the environment can affect phenotype-?
Interactions between genes and the environment can influence phenotype by modifying gene expression levels. Environmental factors like diet, stress, and exposure to pollutants can impact gene regulation, leading to different phenotypic outcomes. For example, identical twins with the same genetic makeup can exhibit differences in traits like height or disease susceptibility due to environmental influences.
Explain why the majority of genes in an organism occur in pairs.?
Genes come in pairs because Genes are in chromosomes and chromosomes come in pairs as well.
How alleles and genes related?
Genes and alleles are related because alleles are inside a gene. Genes are made up by alleles. A gene is DNA. The allele is like piece of DNA inside a gene.
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.
What determins phenotype?
the genotypeThe genotype (genes) of an organism determines its phenotype (what it looks and acts like). The phenotype can also be slightly influenced by the organism's environment. For example, if a human inherits genes to be taller than average, but has poor nutrition as a child, he won't be as tall as his genes had coded.
Why is burning of fossils is a concern for scientists?
Burning fossil fuels releases greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide which contribute to global warming and climate change. This can lead to negative impacts on the environment, such as rising sea levels, extreme weather events, and loss of biodiversity. Scientists are concerned because these changes can disrupt ecosystems and have wide-ranging consequences for both nature and human society.
You look more like your relatives then your friends because?
Because you and your relatives have several of the same genes than you and your friends would have.
Why do men like cars?
It's in the genes and the wiring of the brain. Because men crave power.
Why do you look like your mom and dad?
People have features that are seen in the parents because of the genes that have been passed on from one generation to another. It's like some characteristics and facial features have been combined to make a human being like you. But there are some factors that may change the way you look like the environment, circumstances, etc.
