Prenatally diagnoses genetic disorders of the foetus through taking tissue sample, or needling the chromosome.
-
Prenatally diagnoses genetic disorders through ultrasound
-
Prenatally examines risk of down syndrome through testing the fluid at the back of the neck

Question 10
Question
What is the % of shared genes of monozygotic and dizygotic twins?
Answer
-
MZ = 100% DZ = 50%
-
MZ = 50% DZ = 50%
-
MZ = 25% DZ = 75%
-
MZ = 75% DZ = 25%
Question 11
Question
What are some of the limitations of twin studies? Select all that apply
Answer
-
Experiments are naturalistic so we cannot manipulate the surrounding environment
-
There are more fraternal twins than identical, which gives a less accurate picture of environmental influences
-
No random allocation
-
Some parents believe mistakenly believe their twins are monozygotic rather than dizygotic, and vice versa
-
Twin studies are considered unethical
Question 12
Question
What are some of the limitations of adoption studies? Select all that apply
Answer
-
No random allocation
-
Experimenters have to seek out flaws in environment due to screening
-
Parents are screened for eligibility, therefore not a lot of variation in immediate family environments
-
Children who know they are adopted may respond differently in a shared environment
-
Experiments are naturalistic so we cannot manipulate environment
Question 13
Question
What did Caspi et al (2003) discover in their study regarding vulnerability to depression?
Answer
-
That there is relatively the same risk for developing depression after 4 + stressful life events regardless of your genetic predispositions
-
That you are more likely to develop depression after 2+ stressful life events if you have 1 high risk gene, and one protective gene, than if you have 2 high risk genes
-
That possessing 2 protective genes means you are more vulnerable to depression
-
That the more high risk genes you possess, the less stressful life events it will take for you to become depressed

-
Passive
-
Evocative
-
Active
-

They rarely influence at this stage of pregnancy
-
This is the time they are most susceptible, and major structural abnormalities can occur

This is the time they are most susceptible, and major structural abnormalities occur in the organ systems
