Question

It is clear from current research on human behavior genetics that _____.
A) animal models of human disease are not useful for behavior research
B) epigenetics does not play a significant role in behavior disorders
C) few abnormal behaviors have an environmental component
D) most abnormal behaviors are due to single-gene effects
E) abnormal behaviors are not due to single-gene effects

Accepted Answer

Current research on human behavior genetics suggests that abnormal behaviors are not due to single-gene effects, but rather are influenced by multiple genes and environmental factors. Animal models can be useful for behavior research, epigenetics may play a role in behavior disorders, and many abnormal behaviors have an environmental component.
