our thinking and behaviour are determined by bio factors, the emphasise on the importance of the physical processes in the body, the chemistry of the body
1 of 12
What is the genetic basis of behaviour?
To determine the involvement of genetic factors we use twin studies and compare MZ and DZ concordance rates
2 of 12
what is a genotype?
An individual's genetics make up (hair, eyes)
3 of 12
what is a phenotype?
The characteristics developed, influenced by environmental factors
4 of 12

How has Darwin impacted bio app?
He put forward natural selection (enhanced survival)
7 of 12
Strength - how is the bio app scientific?
It uses brain scans and twin studies that are measured accurately/ scientifically making it objective.
8 of 12
Strength - what are the practical applications of bio app?
Developed dugs to help people struggling
9 of 12
Strength - which N/N stance is bio app on?
It takes the nature stance - argues for genetic influence
10 of 12
Limitation - how is bio app deterministic?
it only considers that we are influenced by genetics that we have no control over - no responsibility for actions
11 of 12
Limitation - how is bio app reductionist?
it doesn't consider the influence of environmental factors - too simplistic
