Question 4 options:

 

experience-dependent processes
the process of the socially just diversification of the genome
experience-independent processes
proximal processes

A picture that conveys the conceptual idea behind regulatory processes (e.g., epigenetic processes) in development is

Question 5 options:

Students sleeping during a lecture
The water that flows in a river is redirected when it hits obstacles (e.g., rocks) on its way or railway tracks and switches
Cars moving straight on a street towards a goal
The cycle of the seasons
A geographic map

 

A number of factors affect epigenetic processes. One of the following is not a factor that can affect epigenetic processes

Question 6 options:

All of these factors can affect epigenetic processes

Question 7 options:

Skinner
Haeckel
Darwin
Galton
All fit into this tradition

 

Which statement is incorrect?

Question 8 options:

The child affected by PKU is born with a defect in his ability to produce the liver enzymes necessary for the metabolism of phenylalanine.
Eating the right food can minimize the effects of PKU on development
Phenylalanine is contained in the protein fraction of foods in the human diet.
Phenylketonuria (PKU) is an inborn error of neural transmission transmitted genetically.
Undetected, PKU can lead to severe intellectual disabilities

 

A question that is typical for the approach taken in most studies in population genetics is:

The environment changes the DNA sequence

 

Haeckel’s biogenetic law is in line with the following statement

Question 11 options:

The prenatal development of the brain is almost identical in all organisms
Mammals are very similar in the very early stages of prenatal development
Phylogeny is less relevant in later development
Phylogeny shows that the notion of stages in human individual development is inconsistent
phylogeny recapitulates ontogeny

 

In the podcast “The Brains of Babes Part II”, Dr. Michael Meaney highlights that …

Question 12 options:

what makes humans different is that we have more genes than other species
what makes humans different is that experience-expectant processes can be reversed
that we now understand how ontogeny is related to phylogeny
what makes humans different is that our brains are capable of epigenetic processes
what makes humans different is the incredible capacity to respond at the genetic level to events in our environment
