Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The effect of the MAOA gene on antisocial behavior varied depending on whether the person was maltreated during childhood. This means that individuals with certain versions of the gene are more likely to exhibit antisocial behavior if they experienced maltreatment, while those with other versions of the gene may not be affected as much. The other options (A, B, and D) are not related to the effect of the gene on antisocial behavior.
