Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Family study designs are commonly used in human studies of behavioral genetics instead of selective breeding. This involves the examination of the similarity of traits among family members, including twin studies, adoption studies, and family pedigrees. In vitro fertilization is not a research design, but rather a technique used to aid in fertilization. Independent assortment and crossing over are concepts related to genetics but are not research designs used in human studies of behavioral genetics.
