Synopsis
:
In this activity, the students begin to explore the inheritance of complex traits through the study of human behaviors. Notice that we have not chosen to use diseases as our examples of complex traits. This is because current human-genetics instruction focuses almost exclusively on rare, single-gene, Mendelian disorders, such as hemophilia (X-linked recessive); sickle-cell anemia and cystic fibro s i s (autosomal recessive); and Huntington disease (autosomal dominant). This ignores the “normal” traits of interest to most students and, judging by news coverage, the media: aggression, sexual orientation, anxiety, risk-taking behavior, happiness, and intelligence, for example.
