Genes
• Genes play a huge role in a child’s
development
• They effect the color of your eyes
• Determines height and weight, level of
intelligence, along with your basic personality
Twins Separated
• For example, a couple of twins named Bessie
& Jessie
• Separated at 8 months due to mothers death
• Reunited at age 18
• Both had tuberculosis, similar voices, energy
levels administrative talents & decision
making talents
Bessie & Jessie Cont’d…
• Jessie had a college level education while
Bessie had 4 years of high school education
• But Bessie scored a higher score on the
intelligence quotient testing
Twin Separated Cont’d…
• Jack Y. & Oscar S.
• Born in Trinidad in 1933; reunited
at age 43
• Both wore aviator glasses & blue
sport shirt
• Dipped buttered toast in coffee
Jack & Oscar Cont’d…
• Enjoyed sneezing loudly in
elevators to frighten people
• Both were impatient & germ
phoebes
Intelligence
• Intelligence comes from genetics proven by a
research done by Dr. Bouchard at the University of
Minnesota
• In the brain, where you recognize language and the
other for conception, the identical twins have 95 to
100%% shared
Intelligence Cont’d…
• “So far, a single gene has not been found to
specifically code for intelligence, but the
evidence does show that inheritance is a
factor.” (Dr. Bouchard, University of
Minnesota)
Nature Vs. Nurture
• Nature plays a huge role as to who you are
• For example, if there are two siblings living in
the same household it doesn’t mean they are
the same way.
• Tania- live in the same household but live
different ways; 2 siblings
Nature Vs. Nurture Cont’d…
• Kapri- lives in the same household but lives
different as well; 2 siblings
• More abstract things such as intelligence,
personality, and sexual orientation are based
upon a person’s DNA
