Description

Behavioral plasticity is a term used in the animal world, and is applicable to not only animals (remember yo animal kingdom, so this applies to you) but also to the other four kingdoms. How do we recognize which be genetic and which are environmentally influenced? Find 2 journal articles discussing behaviors (none of the introduction) and VGXE. Discuss the interactions found in the articles and the phenotypic result(s). Discuss w behaviors you did and how they are meaningful to you. Discuss this in your own words.

How do we recognize which behavioral tendencies are genetic and which are environmentally influenced? F discussing behaviors (none of the ones discussed in the introduction) and VGXE.

The social behavior of a person is influenced by genes when associated with their effects on the development of br This is a very sensitive link to environment (VE) and genetic (VG) variation and to their interplays (VG × VE), (D

While reading through the article on behavior and its linkages with genes, it is well understood d that our genes are behave in a specific way or have specific inclinations. The actual fact is that, our environments are of great influen specific traits that the environments manifest and yes the effect of the set of genes that we have and our behavior i context of our lives as it carries on a daily bases, (Dolores G. 2015). Our diets and the types of lives we live and be look into, (Dolores G. 2015).

Discuss the interactions found in the articles and the phenotypic result(s). My first article that I found explained that having the obesity gene and being overweight does not mean that you w overweight, (Dolores G. 2015). It continued that for a person to have that gene does not mean that the person is sen not mean that a person will die from having obesity. Our environments and our behaviors are link and also the way (being overweight). I have seen so many people who are obese and their behavior towards their condition is differe to accept the way they are, (Dolores G. 2015). That behavior alone drives them to depression, some of them will n exercise because of the way they look. At this stage with the person no wanting to exercise, staying at home and de

Discuss why you choose the behaviors you did and how they are meaningful to you. Discuss this in your own words.

For a person to be overweight and presenting certain health behaviors to me, is very passionate because I have onc before and struggled to come out of it, (Baker, C. 2004). People kept telling me that I was fat because my father an too, and that I will also present the same features like them. Nonetheless after going through this article, I now und being fat and have the obesity gene, my behavior toward it will count a lot because it is up to me to be positive and can choose to be fit or not and I can choose to let my mind focused on my weight and become stress as well as I ca positively with a healthy and positive lifestyle disagree with the obese gene, (Baker, C. 2004). Regarding being aggressive, some few years ago, I got so many of my relations telling me that I was gradually bec person. I have battled to change and eventually I got over it. That aggressiveness started coming up when my mum person, I was always bitter and wanted to be left alone. At first, it was difficult for me to control it but as time went controlling the behavior, (Baker, C. 2004). The same thing happens to my father when he is confronted with somet he becomes very aggressive. After reading this article, I can tell that I got that aggressive gene (MAQA) from my whether the gene is displayed or not, it all depends on me, my environment, how I approach the situation and how that, my behavior traits are being influenced by my environment, (Baker, C. 2004).
