| These questions are taken from the directed questions found in the margins of the chapter. After reading the chapter, you should be able to answer these questions: 3.1 Differentiate between genotype and phenotype. 3.2 Describe dominant, recessive, and polygenic influences on phenotype. 3.3 Explain how family, adoption, and twin studies are used to estimate genetic and environmental determinants of behaviour. 3.4 Define heritability. 3.5 Contrast the behavouristic and ethological assumptions regarding the development of behaviour. 3.6 Discuss the relation of evolution and culture to learning. 3.7 Explain the impact of heritability on individual differences in intelligence. 3.8 Describe the shared and unshared environmental influences on intelligence. 3.9 Describe the heritability of personality. 3.10 Explain the hypothesised effects of reaction range on the genetic expression of intelligence. 3.11 Describe the ways that genotype can affect environment influence of behaviour. 3.12 Describe how gene modification methods are used to study the causes of behaviour. 3.13 Describe the ethical and societal issues that are involved in genetic screening. 3.14 Explain how natural selection produces adaptations. 3.15 Explain the way that brain evolution illustrates the natural selection of biological mechanisms. 3.16 Describe how evolutionary principles have been used to account for diverse cultures. 3.17 Explain how genetically based diseases provide an argument against natural selection. 3.18 Describe how human behaviour suggests innate evolved mechanisms. 3.19 Contrast sexual strategies and social structure explanations for mate preferences. 3.20 Explain how evolutionary theory accounts for the universal nature of the Big Five personality traits. 3.21 Describe the fallacies that can arise from misinterpreting evolutionary theory. |
