That's a very good question and one which has remained unresolved for decades, centuries, even. If you really want to know,study Psychology and make it your life's work. If you just need info for your essay,don't expect to get a finite answer.

Try to imagine the characters history. There must have been some mundane, routine periods in their life, how did they feel about this. Much more interesting is what they do for a living and whether or not it satisfies them. What moments of great joy and celebration have they experienced. What have they achieved. What traumas and sadness have they experienced and why and how did it change them?\n\nWhat impact did their upbringing have on their character? Which of their characteristics are inherited or learnt from their parents and family? Which are connected or the result of health and environmental factors? \n\nYou've written the character, so now explain why they are like they are.\n\nEnjoy the creative writing.\n\nWe are the sum total of all our life up to now that is.

Both. Your genetic makeup will determine a large number of factors in your makeup/development. Environment also plays a large role. If you look at the studies on identical twins, you'll see that they are extraordinarily similar for the first few years, but then start developing differences. These variations won't be physical, since those are genetic, but more behavioral.

This is an ongoing debate in Science at the moment! When genetics was first discovered, one of the first things that was first asked was: "does our emotion come DNA".\n\nUnfortuntly, there are still no answers. Certain scientists have found that those people that have violent/anger tendancies often have the same gene somewhere in their chromosomes. However, this is not what makes you violet - and so far they can only suggest that it increases the chances of making you more suseptible to anger/violence. Other scientific studies have been inconclusive!\n\nMany people still believe in the "environmental" factor - The believe that your actions, your personality and the type of person you are is determined by your environment: Where you live, how you are were brought up etc.\n\nSo, the answer is: Nobody Knows!\n\nI hope that helps!\nTom

Very simply put, dominance and recessiveness are characteristics of genes.\n\nA dominant gene is expressed (shows up visibly in the offspring) when only one copy of the gene is present, on one chromosome from one parent. Let's say Tallness is a Dominant gene. If you have ONE tall parent, and get ONE copy of the Tall gene, you will probably be tall. If your tall parent was the son or daughter of a TALL and a SHORT person, they may only have ONE copy of that gene. If you get both SHORT chromosomes from Mom and DAD, you will NOT be tall. So you have 50 to 100 chance of being tall with a Dominant gene.\n\nNow, let's take the gene for BLUE eyes. It is recessive. You need TWO copies of this gene to get blue eyes. If Mom has blue eyes and Dad has blue eyes, and you get copies of both blue eye genes, you will have blue eyes. But if Mom has blue eyes, and Dad has brown eyes, you might end up with Brown eyes. Don't that make your blue eyes brown, so to speak.\n\nBUT..if Dad's mom had blue eyes and Dad's dad brown (your grandparents) and if Dad has one blue eye gene and one brown eye gene and has brown eyes AND if your Mom still has those blue peepers, you have a 1/4 chance of ending up with one blue eyed gene from AND a blue eyed gene from Dad and you will also have blue eyes like your Mum. Don't that make your brown eyes...blue?

gene is the DNA or RNA in animals cell

Proteins are the workhorses of an organism, providing everything from immunoresponse, enzymatic reactions, hormones and hormone receptors, and transport and channel proteins that move things in and out of cells. On top of all this proteins are the ultimate expression of our genes, since DNA codes for amino acids which form polypeptides which form proteins. Everything that makes you... you and all the features of other animals is the result of your genes expression in the form of proteins, like the color of your hairs and eyes. Proteins can also be a source of energy .\n\nI was going to complement Always Right's answer until I saw the wikipedia entry which it is copied and pasted from, it's fine to use sources (I'm using my bio 101 notes) but at least reference them, not say "Life"\n\nIt's also important to note that DNA is NOT a protein, DNA is a nucleic acid, a biological molecule separate from proteins.

The DNA molecule increases complexity by 'glomming' on extra molecules all the time. If the extra molecules either don't cause major defects, or as long as they don't interfere too much with living functions, then they cause the DNA design to drift away from the core features which fit the environment. In this way, nature always explores the infinite possibilities of life, while the local environment trims all the surviving possibilities down to the ones which fit within the resource base and predator effects. Genetic changes which still provide a net creative gain for the species will be kept.

Genetics of the fruit fly drosophila (Mendeline genetics)\n\nAn essay on Darwin and his discovery of Natural selection would be good and interesting reading.\n\nHow do finger prints work? Including the history of, and perhaps a discussion on the fact that identical twins do not have identical finger prints.\n\nOver farming/fishing, how humans are quickly using up the environment and resources of the planet.\n\nThe extinction of the Dinosausrs.\n\nThe phenomenon of the Peppered Moth and Industrial melanism.\n\nDepends what area you are interested in, you can pick something you find fun and do some research on it, don't think of it as hard, think of it as an opportunity to do something you enjoy and show your markers how much you enjoy it by researching it.

try " A baby's development is influenced by both hereditary and environmental factors."\nthis way your continuity is the same....hereditary and environmental both describe factors.\nheredity is a noun.

Ahhh...nature versus nurture!  Even the experts cannot say with certainty whether nature and your genetic makeup or your nurturing is what makes up the person. There have been studies done with twins who were raised apart, and found that the twins had MANY things that they did just alike, from little things such as which hand they used to open a letter to bigger things such as they body-type and coloring of the people they fell in love with!  There have also been many studies done as to how poverty, violence, drug/alcohol abuse, sexual/physical abuse and parental abandonment affects children, especially in the birth to age 4 range, and how this shows up in their later life as violence in men and self-abuse in women. So having said all this, I personally feel that it is a combination of both, and sometimes it is neither. There are always the stories of the family who did everything right and still wound up with a drug addicted child or a murderer or rapist on their hands. But if you take a 'normal' family and have them raise a child (by normal I mean average, honest, working, functioning people)you will by and large see differences in that child as compared to a child raised by a disfunctional, abusive, out of control, self-serving family.   Did this answer your question at all?

There is no "versus". Mendelian Genetics explained heredity years before when people had funny ideas about inheritance (there was one which said only the father contributed to the children's character and another which said it was the mum!). Biotechnology is using this knowledge as well as knowledge from diverse fields such as Chemistry, Physics, Statistics etc. to modify nature a little for man's benefit. Why the  "versus" question? Both work in tandem.

THAT PRETTY LAME IF YOU ASK ME.GENETICS AND GENES AND CHROMOSONES ARE THE CONSTANT ENVIRONMENTMENTALLY UNFRIENDLY OR MAYBE FRIENDLY COMPONETS THAT DESIGN A HUMAN BABY. HOW THE CHILD WILL APPEAR LIKE HAIR COLOR SEX EYE COLOR AND IF THEY CAN HEAR OR SEE ARE ALL GENETICALLY INSPIRED.IF YOUR A MALE TAKE A LOOK AT YOU OWN MOM AND HER DAD.IF YIUR FEMALE LOOK AT YOUR DAD AND HIS MOM.DNA WILL DEFINITELY GIVE YO AND IDEA WHAT YOU WILL APPEAR WHEN YOUR OLDER.

» Environment - The complex of social and cultural conditions that affect an individual or community. In other words, the abiotic and biotic conditions that surround a living being.\n\n» Development - the process of changing and becoming larger, stronger, or more impressive, successful, or advanced, or of causing somebody or something to change in this way is development.\n\n¤ so, from here, we can see it clearly that, environment is what that surrounds us. and there can be development of those which surrounds us. for example, buildings are part of the environment,and there can be a development in the building that is there can be a development of one of the environment elements.\n so we should develop our environment in such a way that will be helpful for long term,not just for current generation but also for future generation. Our generation should develop the environment in extent that will be helpful for environment sustainability that is ability of a system to sustain longer,instead of getting simply some early profits.

Okay i never heard of the law of DNA but to answer the question.  If the condition of hair, straght or curly, is defined by a single gene, than there are two types.  The is a straight gene and a curly gene.  So everyone has two copies of the gene.  One from mom and one from dad.  So if mom gives a curly gene, and dad gives straight, which one will it be?  Well that is described by the law of domninance.  One gene will be stronger than the other.  One allele will out shine the other.  So you need to find out, which gene is dominant and which is recessive.  thats your answer
