The question of how the mind and body interact and exist together.

The belief that the mind and body are different substances that interact.

The belief that there is only one kind of existence, either material or mental.

A form of monism; everything is material or physical.

The belief that only the mind exists, dismissing physical existence.

The view that mental states are identical to brain processes described in different terms.

The question of why and how brain activity is linked to consciousness.

The belief that only one's own mind is sure to exist, with uncertainty about others.

Inheritance occurs through genes, defined by Gregor Mendel.

Strands of genes normally found in pairs within an organism.

A unit of heredity maintaining its structural identity across generations.

The expression of a gene pair, e.g., BB, Bb, or bb.

DNA exists as a double strand in chromosomes and single strand for RNA synthesis.

Having an identical pair of genes on two chromosomes (BB or bb).

Having an unmatched pair of genes on two chromosomes (Bb).

Change in gene frequencies in a population over generations.

Random changes in DNA sequences that can lead to new traits.

Humans breeding animals for desired traits to ensure survival.

Common misconceptions about how evolution works, like 'survival of the fittest'.

The mistaken belief that traits are acquired through use; not supported by evidence.

Study of how social behaviors evolve through natural selection.

Selfless acts that benefit others, explained by sociobiology as gene spreading.

Seeks to explain psychological traits as adaptations to survive.

An individual with two dominant alleles (TT) for a gene.

The process where chromosome pairs exchange parts during reproduction.

Genes located on sex chromosomes, affecting inheritance based on sex.

Behavior that helps others, potentially aiding their survival and reproduction.
