Polygenic inheritance
most traits are influenced by several genes
Phenotypic plasticity
how much a trait can change because of the environment
Types of phenotypic plasticity
1. low (canalization) - no plasticity
2. high - the same genes can look different in the different environment (shyness, aggression)
3. norm of reaction - the range of outcomes the genotype can show across different environments
Epigenetic
complex process where environment can shape the genetic code expression
genetic-environment interaction
1. environmental factors can affect whether genes are turned on/off
2. env factors can alter the magnitude of genetic effects on development
3. genes expression affect how ppl respond to children
4. your genes influence the environment you choose to experience
how genotype interacts with environment to determine behavioural attributes
behavioral genetics
heritability
the share of differences between people that comes from genes
