behaviours must be Learned. A learned behaviour in not instinctive‚ but must be taught or acquired through learning‚ influenced by their experiences in their environment. A baby using the potty and talking are examples of learned behaviour. As opposed to reflex‚ these behaviours are unfixed and can be changed. Most behaviours have instinctive and learned components and so the ’nature versus nurture’ debate will continue to have grey areas surrounding it. For example without the innate ability to suck

Your Inner Fish: A Review of Chapter 4 In Your Inner Fish‚ a book about the study of evolution in mammals‚ chapter four is dedicated to the study of teeth. Neil Shubin is explicit in his insistence that teeth are extremely important when studying evolution of the human body. He uses three main points to explain this to the reader. First‚ through the function of teeth. Then by revealing the anatomy of teeth. And finally by discussing tooth-to-tooth occlusion. Teeth are used to manipulate larger objects

Reticular Activation System- responsible for maintaining consciousness and awakening from sleep. Hypothalamus- regulates the ANS‚ produces hormones that regulate endocrine function. Midbrain- contains reflex centers for movements of the eyes head and neck in response to visual and other stimuli‚ and reflex center for movements of the head and trunk in response to auditory stimuli. Basal Ganglia- several groups of nuclei that control large autonomic movements of skeletal muscles and help regulate muscle

maturation is also fixed by this schedule. One of the best examples of inevitability of these processes in development is disappearance of the reflexive head-turning response to the direction of the source of sound. The temporary disappearance of this reflex probably represents a maturational transition from a reflexive response controlled by sub cortical areas of the brain to a

Transgenic Animals and Plants What is a transgenic animal/plant? A transgenic animal or plant is one that has a foreign gene (called a "transgene") inserted into its DNA. Transgenic animals and plants are sometimes called "genetically modified organisms" or GMO ’s for short. What is a transgene? A transgene is the foreign gene that has been moved from one organism into a new organism by genetic engineering. For example‚ a bacterial gene that is inserted into a plant ’s DNA would be a

behaviour is innate. Innate behaviour is defined as natural and instinctive. It is the behaviour present at birth; the instinctive‚ fixed‚ unchanging behaviour that is inherited. Reflexes are innate behaviour‚ and infants are born with several. A reflex is an automatic‚ involuntary response to a specific stimulus some of this includes swallowing‚ coughing and blinking. Theses reflexes enable the baby to protect itself‚ and are simple and quick responses which our bodies do automatically. For example

In her essay “Who needs College?” which appeared in Family Circle‚ Linda Lee states that many American parents regardless of their children performance or readiness are very obsessed with sending them to colleges or Universities. This frenzy brings up a questioning to find out what would motivate the majority of people in America to absolutely want to send their children to college. Lee (2001) mentions that “America has the second-highest number of graduates worldwide‚ after (not Great Britain
