Question 1: What role do twins play in the study of human growth?

Twins play a role in the study of human growth by allowing scientists to study what behaviors are caused by genetic identity and which behaviors are influenced by external stimuli.

Question 2: What role do genes and the environment play in human growth? 

Genes and the environment influence humans at about the same percentage, however genes do not control behaviors in humans, rather influence the way humans react to stimuli.]]> 2017-03-21 19:28:57 UTC https://padlet.com/jacobforristal/3lfkfft9o8rv/wish/161642530 Video 2: Introduction to Developmental Psychology jacobforristal https://padlet.com/jacobforristal/3lfkfft9o8rv/wish/161645366
