Genetics and Behavior starts at 12 and continues till grade 12.
QuestionsToday has an evolving set of questions to continuously challenge students so that their knowledge grows in Genetics and Behavior.
How you perform is determined by your score and the time you take.
When you play a quiz, your answers are evaluated in concept instead of actual words and definitions used.
See sample questions for grade 12
A child inherits a genetic predisposition for high intelligence but grows up in an environment with little educational stimulation. What does this scenario illustrate about the relationship between genetics and environment?
A researcher finds that identical twins raised apart are more similar in intelligence than fraternal twins raised together. What does this suggest about the role of genetics in intelligence?
A study finds that adopted children are more similar in personality to their biological parents than to their adoptive parents. What does this suggest?
Define heritability in the context of behavioral genetics.
Describe how a mutation in a gene might affect behavior.
Describe how twin studies can help estimate the heritability of a trait.
Describe one way in which adoption studies help researchers understand the influence of genetics on behavior.
Explain the concept of gene-environment correlation.
Explain the difference between a dominant and a recessive allele.
Explain the difference between monozygotic and dizygotic twins in terms of genetic similarity.
Explain why heritability estimates cannot be applied to individuals.
What is the basic unit of heredity that influences behavior?
