One gene which has been linked to aggression is the gene coding for the production of monoamine oxidise A (MAOA). Brunner et al 1993 studied the men in a family with a tradition of violent men‚ they discovered that the gene responsible for producing the enzyme MAOA may be associated with aggressive behaviour. The normal gene that makes an enzyme which metabolises hormones and neurotransmitters (including adrenaline and noradrenaline). With a mutated gene there is less enzymes and so the levels of

Nikolas Tinbergen’s 4 causes of behavior are a framework that can be taken to understand animal behavior. The 4 causes are Triggering Cause‚ Development‚ Function‚ and Evolution. Through these 4 aspects‚ we can investigate the monkey species’ behavior. The first cause is the Triggering Cause. In other words‚ what exactly drove the monkey to produce such a call? The scientists that are studying this must investigate what exactly causes this call‚ for example if it is based on what type of food the

A. DNA molecules are nucleotides which are the A‚ G‚ C‚ T. A long series of the nucleotide makes up the genes. The sequence of the nucleotides determines each of our 20‚000 different genes. Every 3 nucleotides codes are for a specific amino acid. The amino acid sequence determines what protein will be made. The proteins acting as enzymes will determine our physical traits like eye color‚ number of bones‚ blood type....etc. B. The most important findings of the Human Genome Project are so many
