genotype-phenotype
  1. genes influence structure and function of body
    1. genotype is collection of all individuals genes - identical within each cell - does not change
    2. genes interact with fluid environment in cell - cell interacts with neighbours - whole organism interacts with environment
      1. interaction in development is called phenotype - physical structure and behaviour of organism
      2. features of phenotype change from experience - environment (muscle / aggression etc)
        1. phenotype can vary between genetically identical individuals - raised in different environments
        2. genotype has potential for development into number of phenotypes
          1. important genotype/phenotype distinction - gentic basis for differences in a population - interaction with environment needs to be considered when looking at development and behaviour
