Journal Entry:
Are all genes in your DNA being expressed somewhere in your body at any given time?
Learning Intentions
We will learn ways that environmental factors influence many traits both directly and indirectly.
We will learn about examples of when an organism's adaptation to the local environment reflects a flexible response of its genome.
Closing Task:
You can argue whether you think nature or nurture has a greater influence on who we are using evidence from articles.
