Document Summary
Summary the evolutionary perspective: natural selection is the process that favors the individuals of a species that are best adapted to survive/reproduce, adaptive behavior is behavior that promotes the organism"s survival in a natural habitat, biological evolution shaped human beings into a culture making species, adaptation, reproduction & survival of the fittest" are important in explaining behavior, baltes proposed the benefits of evolutionary selection decrease with age because of a decline in reproductive fitness, evolutionary selection benefits decrease with age as cultural needs increase. The collaborative gene: the nucleus of each human cell contains 46 chromosomes, which are composed of dna, mitosis is the process of cell division, genes are transmitted from parents to offspring by gametes (sex cells, gametes are formed by splitting cells, aka meiosis, reproduction occurs when a female gamete (ovum) if fertilized by a male gamete (sperm) to create a zygote.
