Document Summary
Relation 2 involves the relation between ones genotype and phenotype. Genes get switched on and off at the right times, at the right place, and the right length of time, allowing for proper development. The switching on and off of genes are controlled by regulatory genes. Genes never function alone, and instead belong to extensive networks where the expression of one gene is a prerequisite for another gene to be expressed, and so on. contribute to different outcomes (eye color). A simple pattern of this is the dominant-recessive pattern. There are 2 results from this pattern: homozygous and heterozygous. Usually, a gene can affect can affect multiple traits. aggression, thrill-seeking genotype will develop differently in different environments (norm of reaction): child"s phenotype child"s environment that match their interests, talents and personality, 5. Child"s environment child"s genotype chromosomes: molecules of dna that transmit. Relation 3 involves the impact of the environment on the child"s phenotype.
