Genotype

A person's genetic heritage; actual genetic makeup

Daniel is an outgoing, popular high school student. He seeks out opportunities to socialize, such as joining various clubs at school and participating in team sports. Daniel's efforts to select experiences that are consistent with his genetic Tendencies is known as blank correlation

Active

Adaptive Behavior

In this clip, dr. Nelson discusses the difficulty of testing infants. Which of the following is not one of those difficulties?

Babies object to electrodes on their heads

The field of blank seeks to discover the influence of heredity and environment on individual differences in human traits and development.

Behavior genetics

Blank, which is consistent with the concept of active correlations, helps explain why identical twins reared apart are often similar, despite experiencing different environments.

Check

Formal operational stage Dash in the blankformal operational stains dash in the blank the person can reason in the abstract ID listed are logical way and can develop images of ideal circumstances. Concrete operational stage Dash in the blank the child can classify objects into different sets and reason logically. However she has difficulty reason with abstract examples. Pre-operational stage Dash in the blank the child learns about the World by coordinating sensory experiences like hearing and seeing with physical actions. Sensorimotor stage - in the blank, the child starts to use words and images to represent the world.

Check

Maria is at risk for having a baby with Down Syndrome. Between the 10th and the 12th weeks of pregnancy, she will undergo which of the following test to screen for genetic defects?

Chorionic villus sampling

Nucleus of each human cell contains ______, which are thread-like structures made up of deoxyribonucleic acid, or DNA

Chromosomes

In this clip we see dr. Sroufe discussing development. He argues that development is characterized by both

Continuity and change

When fertilization occurs, the egg and the sperm unite to form a zygote. This single cell normally contains 23 unpaired chromosomes from the egg and 23 unpaired chromosomes from the sperm. These chromosomes combine to form one set of 23 pairs of chromosomes each pair combines one chromosome from the mother and one chromosome from the father.

Correct

Babies with easy temperament 10 to receive different responses from adults and babies with a difficult temperament. For instance, we are more likely to respond positively to a baby who is happy and social than to a baby who is irritable and generally negative mood. This is an example illustrates blank correlation

Evocative

Natural selection favors behaviors that increase reproductive success and the ability to pass on jeans to the Next Generation. This is a central view

Evolutionary psychology

The field of ____ seeks to discover the influence of heredity and environment on individual differences in human traits and development.

Evolutionary psychology

Dr. Nelson states that about age blank he can switch from geg to fmri.

Five and above

Human reproductive cells are called

Gametes

The nucleus of each human cell contains blank, which are threadlike structures made up of deoxyribonucleic acid or DNA

Genes

Emily, who has brown eyes, has one dominant gene and one recessive gene. When we described her actual genetic makeup, we are describing her

Genotype

Emily and Robin are twins. They were originally a single zygote that split in two. Therefore, they are identical or monozygotic, twins. David and Allison are also twins, but develop from separate eggs and sperm. Therefore they are fraternal, or dizygotic twins. David and Allison are no more genetically similar than regular siblings.

Identical, monozygotic, fraternal, dizygotic, siblings

Dr. Sroufe began his current research

In the third trimester of pregnancy

Natural selection

Is the evolutionary process by which those individuals of a species that are best adapted to their environment are the ones that are most likely to survive and reproduce.

The type of study that dr. Sroufe it's describing and when she followed one group of individuals from emphysema to early adulthood is called a

Longitudinal study

Every one of us started out as a single cell that contains all our genes. The nucleus of each cell contains chromosomes. Chromosomes are threadlike structures that contain DNA, which is a complex molecule that contains genetic information. Each cell contains 23 pairs of chromosomes. Genes are short segments of DNA. They direct cells to reproduce themselves and manufacture the proteins that maintain life. The human genome consist of _______. They also interact with non genetic factors inside and outside the body. Therefore, whether a gene is active or not is caused by both nature and nurture.

Many genes that collaborate with each other

The evolutionary process by which the best adapted individuals of a species are the ones that survive and reproduce is known as

Natural selection

In this clip, dr. Leonard is discussing adolescents and research. He argues that there needs to be a way for research to blank a sense of belonging and adolescents.

Optimize

Blank correlations are most applicable to young children, his parents exert a great deal of control over their early experiences.

Passive

Gillian has blue eyes and brown hair. These are examples of

Phenotypes

Dr. Lerner argues that by participating in research adolescents gain a sense of

Positive self development
