Nature Vs. Nurture and the genes of humans Kristine Hernandez

Nature vs. Nurture
Nature - being born with certain traits
Nurture - developing character traits through experience

Genes/ DNA- are biochemical units of heredity that make up the chromosome; a segment of DNA capable of synthesising a protein

Evolutionary psychology explains traits such as memory perception of language. It is the study of evolution of behavior and mind using principles of natural selection. Natural selection means that even though there are a range of traits will most likely be passed on to the generations to come.
Sexuality/Gender.
Gender bias is a variable that scientists have to control within the experiment. Gender bias exists today in the workplace and every aspect of society.
Behavior genetics is the study of the relative power and limits of genetic and environmental influences on behavior.
