I can recall as a child I would have questions as to how can two people look alike. Twins are interesting to Scientist as well. To learn certain things about development, twins have been used to conduct studies to compare and contrast. 
     Scientist have looked at the fact that twins have the same DNA but they can also have attributes that are different. Scientist have carefully examined twins that grew up separated and twins that grew up in the same household. The studying of twins helps them to see how the environment plays a role as well as the genetic.]]> 2017-01-12 02:31:28 UTC https://padlet.com/lbarnes1209/10m2gwjannr5/wish/146686903 lbarnes1209 https://padlet.com/lbarnes1209/10m2gwjannr5/wish/146689178      Our human growth is made up of a combination of things and events. Two aspects of our growth are genes and the environment. Genes are a unit of heredity that is transferred from one parent to offspring and is held to determine some characteristics of the offspring. The definition of genes lets us know that there could be things in our family tree that will be a part of us as an individual because of our bloodline. The things that we gain in our genes from our family is something that is a part of our being as a person.
     Environment is the surroundings or conditions in which a person, animal, or plant lives or operates. The environment could be the neighborhood that you live in. For instance you can be someone who grew up in the suburbs, living in a household with married parents as a child. You can take that same person and their lifestyle changes. Let's say that in the child's adolescent years the child parents got a divorce and she moved to the ghetto with other family members. This child has gone from a well to do environment to a poverty stricken environment. This child could be driven from the life she once lived and become accustomed to her new surroundings.
The awesome thing about genes and environment is the fact that one's development is a mixture of both. You can take someone that has changed surroundings drastically but not become agreeable with this new life. That is when you can see the genetics of someone verses the environment and how that person can overcome there living situation to not overpower the determination of there genes that lives on the inside of them.]]> 2017-01-12 03:02:42 UTC https://padlet.com/lbarnes1209/10m2gwjannr5/wish/146689178
