Document Summary
Come in through southeast side of building for zoology for office hours. What signals within the body elicit behavior. Example: marsh birds singing behavior the ones from ca have a larger song repertoire. Chromosomes, genes, and alleles chromosomes contain all of our dna. Genes: sequences of dna that has a particular function (structural v. regulatory gene) Locus: location of a particular gene on a chromosome. Alleles: different forms of a gene that occupy the same locus. Genotype: the genetic makeup of an individual. Phenotype: observable characteristics of an individual"s genotype. produced by interaction between the gene and the environment (blood type is a phenotype) Structural genes enzymes and proteins cell metabolism physiological mechanisms behavior (environmental influences affect all of these) Migratory behavior were studied (mitochondria passed down from mother to offspring. In honey bees, they have behavior where they look through their homes and look for offspring that are disease infected and they discard of them (remove dead larvae)
