This includes identifying which genes may lead to genetic disorder and pose health risks.]]> 2019-01-17 16:11:04 UTC https://padlet.com/adriflores2001/k38ozqla1ywe/wish/321754346 How do evolutionary psychologists use natural selection to explain behavioral tendencies? adriflores2001 https://padlet.com/adriflores2001/k38ozqla1ywe/wish/321757487 Evolutionary psychologist seek to understand how natural selection has contributed to shaping our traits and behavior tendencies-- these variations arise from genetic mutations or new gene combinations. They want to see how survival of the fittest has contributed to how we have evolved. ]]> 2019-01-17 16:14:58 UTC https://padlet.com/adriflores2001/k38ozqla1ywe/wish/321757487 molecular genetics adriflores2001 https://padlet.com/adriflores2001/k38ozqla1ywe/wish/321761373 a section of biology that studies molecular structure and gene function]]> 2019-01-17 16:20:51 UTC https://padlet.com/adriflores2001/k38ozqla1ywe/wish/321761373 evolutionary psychology adriflores2001 https://padlet.com/adriflores2001/k38ozqla1ywe/wish/321763151 the study of the evolution of behavior and mind, using principles of natural selection]]> 2019-01-17 16:23:31 UTC https://padlet.com/adriflores2001/k38ozqla1ywe/wish/321763151 natural selection adriflores2001 https://padlet.com/adriflores2001/k38ozqla1ywe/wish/321765100 the principle that variable genes and traits will be more likely to lead to reproduction, survival, and the passing of successful genes]]> 2019-01-17 16:26:40 UTC https://padlet.com/adriflores2001/k38ozqla1ywe/wish/321765100 mutation adriflores2001 https://padlet.com/adriflores2001/k38ozqla1ywe/wish/321766527 a random error in gene replication that leads to a change ]]> 2019-01-17 16:28:42 UTC https://padlet.com/adriflores2001/k38ozqla1ywe/wish/321766527 3 main ideas adriflores2001 https://padlet.com/adriflores2001/k38ozqla1ywe/wish/321773069 1. genes influence our traits and behaviors
2. the study of natural selection can help us explain present day genes and behaviors
3. the study of genes can help us identify disorders and health defects]]> 2019-01-17 16:38:40 UTC https://padlet.com/adriflores2001/k38ozqla1ywe/wish/321773069
