Nature vs. Nurture

Nature and Nurture When both DNA(Nature) and life experience/exposure(nurture) contribute to a phenotype TRAITNATURENURTURE Skin color Inherited genes for skin color Sun can darken or redden skin or cause freckles to appear Height BUZZER: Traits influence by both DNA and environment tend to have a wide range of phenotypes

How would it be possible to determine how much of a phenotype was controlled by nature and how much by nurture? Twins: Is it All in the Genes? Jim Twins BUZZER: Identical twins develop from one single fertilized egg so they have the same genome. Differences can be due to their environment and not genes.

What's your risk activity

Epi = above = chemical modifications to the DNA or the histones that don't change the DNA sequence Epigenetic changes turn genes on/off Epigenetic changes are copied with the DNA during cell division EPIGENETICS GENOMEEPIGENOME DNA SEQUENCESDirections to turn a gene on/off

1.DNA methylation Usually turns genes off CH 3 group added to some cytosine nucleotides 2. Histone modification (ex. Acetylation) Turns genes off by causing DNA to wrap more tightly around histone so RNA polymerase cannot get to the gene DNA sequence Epigenetic Mechanisms

REPROGRAMMING In most cases, gametes are wiped clean of epigenetic markers acquired during that parents life - this process is called reprogramming.
