Behavioural genetics is interested in the range of outcomes associated with different genotypes. It focuses on the complex interplay between genetic and environmental factors in the development of behavioural and psychological phenotypes, which are often influenced by many genes and their interactions. While some single-gene traits may also be studied in behavioural genetics, this is not the primary focus of the field.
