Question

Dr. L. Hill conducted a study examining music ability in families; she recorded the concordance rates of music ability of adopted children and their parents (who raised them), and she also recorded the concordance rates of the children with their biological parents. Then, she compared the two sets of concordance rates. Dr. Hill is studying: Selected Answer: Correct Behavior genetics Answers: A.Dominant-recessive B.gene relationships C.Correct Behavior genetics D.Epigenesis Active gene effects

Answer 1

Option C, Correct Behavior genetics

Step-by-step explanation:

Behaviour genetics is the study of the influence of both genes and environment on the behaviour of an individual. This study is done to understand how both genes and environment together affect the behaviour of an individual. It is believed that all forms of behaviors are either inherited or learned. Mr. Hill is noting the concordance rates of music ability for both biological children (who might have inherited this ability from their parents) and adopted children (who might have learned this ability from the musical environment around them)

Hence, option C is correct
