Genetics and Behaviour

[edit | edit source]

The genetics and behaviour (GB) outcomes look at how genetic influences can change and determine behaviour.

There are three genetics and behaviour outcomes:

  • GB1: With reference to relevant studies, to what extent does genetic inheritance influence behaviour?
  • GB2: Examine one evolutionary explanation of behaviour.
  • GB3: Discuss ethical considerations in research into genetic influences on behaviour.


Note that any example responses are not necessarily worth full marks, but exist simply to provide an idea of how an example looks.
