How are we different? * ** *** To name some of the ways that humans are different from each other To sort variations into inherited and environmental variations To give a definition for variation
Make the humans look different * ** *** To name some of the ways that humans are different from each other To sort variations into inherited and environmental variations To give a definition for variation
Make the bodies of these people look different * ** *** To name some of the ways that humans are different from each other To sort variations into inherited and environmental variations To give a definition for variation
Make the dogs look different * ** *** To name some of the ways that humans are different from each other To sort variations into inherited and environmental variations To give a definition for variation
* ** *** To name some of the ways that humans are different from each other To sort variations into inherited and environmental variations To give a definition for variation
We call this difference Variation Differences can be Inherited or genetic (these are controlled by the genes made of DNA) Environmental (caused by what happens to you or your environment) * ** *** To name some of the ways that humans are different from each other To sort variations into inherited and environmental variations To give a definition for variation
Genetic differences * ** *** To name some of the ways that humans are different from each other To sort variations into inherited and environmental variations To give a definition for variation
Some differences are not due to the genes. These are environmental differences and things like your upbringing, your diet and what you do can control these * ** *** To name some of the ways that humans are different from each other To sort variations into inherited and environmental variations To give a definition for variation
Genetics and the Simpsons * ** *** To name some of the ways that humans are different from each other To sort variations into inherited and environmental variations To give a definition for variation
Homer Marge Bart Maggie Lisa * ** *** To name some of the ways that humans are different from each other To sort variations into inherited and environmental variations To give a definition for variation
How are the Simpsons related to each other? married children * ** *** To name some of the ways that humans are different from each other To sort variations into inherited and environmental variations To give a definition for variation
? Mr Bouvier Jackie Abe Mona Patty & Selma Herb Powell * ** *** To name some of the ways that humans are different from each other To sort variations into inherited and environmental variations To give a definition for variation
Lets look at the Bouviers: They all have unusual coloured hair. Is this inherited? Possibly. We would need more information to be sure. Mr Bouvier Jackie They all also have a forward-sloping posture. This is probably inherited. Marge and Jackie have similar hairstyles. This is probably not inherited. Patty & Selma Marge * ** *** To name some of the ways that humans are different from each other To sort variations into inherited and environmental variations To give a definition for variation
What about the Simpsons? Mona, Homer, and Herb Powell all have very similar eyes. This is most likely to be inherited. Abe Mona Although Abe is old, he, Homer, and Herb share very similar face shapes. This is probably inherited. Abe and Homer appear to be overweight. Mona and Herb are not, so this is probably caused by environmental factors. Homer Herb Powell * ** *** To name some of the ways that humans are different from each other To sort variations into inherited and environmental variations To give a definition for variation
The Simpson Children Which characteristics do the children share with their parents? All three children have the same ear shape as Homer. This is an inherited characteristic. Marge, Bart, and Lisa all have a similar shaped mouth, which is likely to be an inherited characteristic. Lisa is very intelligent and good at schoolwork. Bart is less intelligent, and often in trouble at school. Bart probably inherits his personality from Homer, and Lisa inherits these * ** characteristics from Marge. *** To name some of the ways that humans are different from each other To sort variations into inherited and environmental variations To give a definition for variation
The Simpson Children All three children have spiky yellow hair. Where is this inherited from? Not Marge. What about Homer? Don t know, because he is bald. BUT, look at Grandpa Simpson: * ** *** To name some of the ways that humans are different from each other To sort variations into inherited and environmental variations To give a definition for variation
This is Abbie, Homers half-sister. This is Cyrus Simpson. Abe s brother. This is Gladys Bouvier. She is Marge and Patty & Selma s aunt * ** *** To name some of the ways that humans are different from each other To sort variations into inherited and environmental variations To give a definition for variation
