Read and answer the following scenario questions and make a conclusion on- What controls human behaviour- genes or environment?
Identical twins have the same genetic make up who have always been together; is their behaviour completely the same? Explain your answer in terms of what makes their behaviour similar and what makes in different.
Identical twins who are separated at birth; is their behaviour going to be completely different? Explain your answer in terms of what makes it similar or different?
Give practical examples.
for twins who were separated at birth , their behavior will similar because some of their characters are heavily influenced by heredity. for example - both twins will show same talents such as singing
ReplyDeleteTrue to that.But will they have any differences in behaviour?
Deletehowever, they can be different becauseof th diet they are exposed to in different environments as well as the genetic make up of an indivisual ,DNA. For example - height and weight may differ
ReplyDeletesurely, diet makes us different. Thank you for well thought contribution
Deletepeople's behaviors are controlled by both genes & environment. so, twins who stay from the same environment have high chances of having same behavior since their genes are similar. but those that are separated may have less chances of having similar behaviors due to different social backgrounds (environment) they are living from
ReplyDeleteThat's a well thought comment. Also think of it, can two people have exactly the same behavior even if they are twins and are staying together?
ReplyDeletegenes do influence behavior but environment can be the biggest because it has alot of factors that affect behavior.
ReplyDeletein some cases its true, but in some people display behaviour in contrary to the environment they exist in. Thank you for good thinking.
