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