an interrelated coherent set of ideals that helps explain and make predictions

cross sectional occurs at one time....longitudinal occurs over a period of time, better results are produced

corr. can predict how people will behave and can predict how peole will behave and can predict one event from another etc.

lab involves observations that take place in a controlled

evolutionary process by which those individuals of a species that are best adapted are the ones that survve a reproduce

emphasizes the importance of adaption, reproduction, and survival of the fittest in shaping behavior

units of hereditary information composed of DNA

a persons heritage; the actual genetic material (what we dont see)

the way an individual's genotype is expressed in observed and measurable characteristics (what we see)

the field that seeks to discover the influence of heredity and environment on individual differences in human traits and development.

the interaction of a specific measured variation in the DNA and a specific measured aspect of the environment

a stage in reproduction wherby an egg and a sperm fuse to create a single cell, called a zygote. Occurs in the falloption tube

a single cell formed through fertilization

the inner mass of cells that develops during the general period (this cell later provide nutrition and support for the embryo)

the outer layer of calls that develops in the germinal period ( these caells later provide nutritionand support for the embryo)

takes place in the first two weeks after conception. It includesthe creation of the zygote, continued cell division, and the attachment of t
