EDUC 107 Chapter Notes - Chapter 2: Pancreatic Cancer, High Tech, Crownsville, Maryland
Document Summary
Using the linked article, find one example of each of the three types of genotype- environment interactions (active, passive, evocative). Tell how the interaction shaped jack"s further development, and how jack"s development changed his environment. Without his parent"s support, jack would probably not have found the encouragement to continue to pursue science or may have taken a longer time to develop the progress he has developed now. This interaction has increased jack"s development in the sciences and created an environment where he is supported and has resources he can rely on. Because of jack"s interest in science, he needs to seek out a more high-tech, professional resource to create his pancreatic cancer detection tool. He has to go and find a more appropriate environment which ends up being the nearby johns hopkins. Active gene-environment correlation occurs in this case when an individual, jack, possesses a heritable inclination, his genotype for science, to select environmental exposure, which is the university.
