Document Summary
Kinesiology 3u03 genetic regulation of growth, maturation and. Only 50% of the way we are/perform/etc is based on genetics. Cultural inheritance: plays a huge role on who we are, environmental and social conditions, parental/societal influences on growth, maturation, and performance, bottom line opportunity is what helps us reach our genetic potential. Biological inheritance: influence of parental generation on offspring = genetic influence, 23 chromosomes, approx. 3 billion base pairs of genes that create proteins and cells. Despite differences in appearance, humans share ~99. 9% common genetic background! Less than 0. 1% variation in genetic makeup accounts for individual uniqueness: genome project breaks down base pairs and understands whats. Genome map related to what: graph. Genetic information: specifies sequence of amino acids. Transcription (copy/mrna) and translation to make proteins that make up components of our body. Genotype + environment (sensitivity) phenotype (what we look like: height and weight.
