GUIDE
Learning Objectives Remember Understand the Apply What Analyze It
the Facts Concepts You Know
2.1.1: Explain the four 1, 3–6 2 83 91
major functions of genes.
2.1.2: Explain how genes 7, 8, 12, 16 9, 14, 15, 17, 84, 10, 11, 13
get passed from 92, 93
generation to generation
and produce variability in
human development.
2.1.3: Explain the indirect 18, 20, 21 22 19, 94
pathway by which genes
affect human
behavior, using the
example of fragile X
syndrome.
2.1.4: Describe the cause 23, 24, 26, 28, 25, 30 27, 85, 95
and the main 29
characteristics of two
instances of chromosomal
errors.
2.1.5: Describe what 31 32
genetic counselors do to
help prospective parents
consider whether to have a
child.
2.2.1: Explain how 33–37, 40 38, 39, 86, 97, 41, 96, 99
scientists identify genetic 98
and environmental
contributions to complex
traits such as IQ.
2.2.2: Explain the 42, 44, 46 43, 48, 49 45, 47, 50, 87 100
concepts of heritability
and shared and non-shared
environment and how
their contributions change
with age.
2.2.3: Explain limitations 51, 52, 101
involved in estimating
hereditary and
environmental influences
on behavior.

2.3.1: Describe how the 53, 55 54, 56, 57 58–60, 88, 89,
three types of gene– 102

from animal and human
studies about how
environments influence
gene expression.
2.4.1: Describe how the 69, 74, 75 70–72, 76 73, 106
developmental systems
framework explains
relationships among
genes, the brain, behavior,
and environment.
2.4.2: Explain how the 79 77, 78, 81, 82 80, 90, 107, 108
influences of different
levels of the external
environment might be
studied, using the example
of obesity.
