Dominant Genes - ANSWERS-These genes are highly active and
influencing genes. This type of gene will always be expressed.
Recessive Genes - ANSWERS-These genes are less active and
influencing. They can only be expressed if matched with another less
active gene.
Epigenetics - ANSWERS-This is changing the widely accepted linear
conception of genome function by explaining how environmental and
psychological factors regulate the activity of our genome without
involving changes in the DNA sequence.
Who is Erikson? - ANSWERS-He was the man who created the 8
major "crises" theory.
Stage 1 (Babies) - ANSWERS-Trust v Mistrust. Do we get the proper
