Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Molecular behavior genetics is the study of how genetic and environmental factors interact to influence behavior. Genome research focuses on the sequencing and mapping of an organism's entire genetic code.

Evolutionary psychology examines how human behavior and cognition have evolved over time.
