1. Define genotype and phenotype‚ and describe how they are related. Genotype is the genetic make-up‚ the inheritable information‚ which comprises an individual organism. It is the code that is copied in reproduction and is passed from 1 generation to the next. It serves as the main guide in the growth‚ development and maintenance of a living organism; it also controls the formation of certain proteins and regulation of metabolism and synthesis. Alleles are alternative forms of a gene and genotype

are the workings of nervous system and the role of heredity in behavior. Bio psychologists investigate how all the electrical impulses‚ hormones and chemical flowing through the body can affect behavior. They are concerned with how the aspects of biology affect emotions of individuals‚ learning abilities and an individual’s perception of events. As the brain can be explained according to its biological functioning; behavior can also be explain in terms of biological and chemical actions and interactions
