Prenatal diagnostic tests include: 1) Ultrasound sonography where high-frequency sound waves are directed into the pregnant woman’s abdomen and the echo from the sounds is transformed into a visual representation of the fetus’s inner structures. 2) Fetal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) where a powerful magnet and radio images are used to generate detailed images of the body’s organs and structures. 3) Chorionic villus sampling (CVS) where a small sample of the placenta is removed to test for genetic defects and chromosomal abnormalities.

Lack of ovulation, producing abnormal ova, blocked fallopian tubes, and disease preventing implantation of the ova in the uterus, are some of the causes of infertility in women. Sperm lacking motility, low sperm count, and blocked passageways could be causes of infertility in men.

Identify and describe the two common studies used by behavior geneticists to investigate the influence of heredity on behavior. To study the influence of heredity on behavior, behavior geneticists often use either twins or adoption situations. In the most common twin study, the behavioral similarity of identical twins (who are genetically identical) is compared with the behavioral similarity of fraternal twins. In an adoption study, investigators seek to discover whether the behavior and psychological characteristics of adopted children are more like those of their adoptive parents, who have provided a home environment, or more like those of their biological parents, who have contributed their heredity. Another form of adoption study compares adoptive and biological siblings.

What are the three ways that heredity and environment are correlated as described by behavior geneticist Sandra Scarr. Behavior geneticist Sandra Scarr described three ways that heredity and environment are correlated: 1) Passive genotype-environment correlations that occur because biological parents, who are genetically related to the child, provide a rearing environment for the child. 2) Evocative genotype-environment correlations that occur because a child’s characteristics elicit certain types of environments. 3) Active (niche-picking) genotype-environment correlations that occur when children seek out environments that they find compatible and stimulating.

Assume that in the case study of the Jim and Jim twins, it was found that their similar development trajectories were a result of similar temperament and interests which caused them to seek out similar environments, which were compatible and stimulating to them. Which heredityenvironment correlation is reflected in this scenario? This would reflect the active (niche-picking) genotype-environment correlation that occurs when children seek out environments that they find compatible and stimulating.

Define shared and nonshared environmental experience. Provide an example of each and point out how that example exemplifies the concept? Shared environmental experiences are siblings’ common experiences, such as their parents’ personalities or intellectual orientation, the family’s socioeconomic status, and the neighborhood in which they live. Nonshared environmental experiences are a child’s unique experiences, both within the family and outside the family, that are not shared with a sibling. Different peer groups, different teachers, and different friends are examples.

Define Gene × environment (G × E) interaction. Give an example of a study (either your own or one from the book) that could illustrate the interaction between genes and the environment. Gene × environment (G × E) interaction refers to the interaction of a specific measured variation in the DNA and a specific measured aspect of the environment. In a study, adults who experienced parental loss as young children were more likely to have unresolved attachment issues as adults only when they had the short version of the 5-HTTLPR gene. The long version of the serotonin transporter gene apparently provided some protection and ability to cope better with parental loss.

What are some problems adopted children face at different points of development (infancy, early childhood, middle and late childhood, and adolescence)? During infancy children might struggle with attachment, especially if parent’s expectations aren’t met. By early childhood, the child begins to ask where they came from. Thus, parents must decide when and if to tell the child that they are adopted. During middle and late childhood, the child tends to show greater interest in where they came from, their birth parents and why they were put up for adoption. By adolescence, as focus becomes more about physical appearance, the teenager might notice more about their physical difference from their biological parents, and be trying to determine their own identity.
