Question 1

A person behaves in a certain way strictly based on his or her heredity.

Accepted Answer

A) True 
 B)False

Question 2

Researchers are identifying more genetic factors affecting behavior.With this information,it will be possible to test fetuses and babies for predisposing genetic factors affecting behavior.Discuss the advantages and disadvantages of such testing.You could consider possible treatments,discrimination,and/or effects on the individual and their family.

Accepted Answer

Answer will vary but thoughtful answers
