Flashcards

What is genetics?

The study of genes, heredity, and variation in living organisms.

What are Mendel's Laws?

Mendel's laws are the law of segregation, the law of independent assortment, and the law of dominance.

What is Incomplete Dominance?

When one allele is not completely dominant over another, resulting in a blending of traits.

What is Co-dominance?

When both alleles for a trait are equally expressed, both traits appear distinctly.

What is Epistasis?

When one gene masks or modifies the expression of another gene.

What are Complementary Genes?

Genes that work together to produce a particular trait. When both genes are present and functional, a specific phenotype is produced.

What are Alleles?

Alleles are different versions of the same gene found at the same locus on homologous chromosomes.

What is Polygenic Inheritance?

When multiple genes determine a trait, leading to a wide range of phenotypes.

What is Cytoplasmic Inheritance?

Inheritance of traits controlled by genes located in the cytoplasm of the cell, typically in mitochondria or chloroplasts.

Study Notes

  • Study notes on the principles of persuasion

Reciprocity

  • People feel obligated to give back to others when they receive something.
  • The best approach is to give what you want to receive from others.
  • Be the first to give in a situation.
  • Ensure the gesture is personalized and unexpected to maximize its impact.

Scarcity

  • People are naturally drawn to things that are less available.
  • Emphasize what makes your offer unique.
  • Highlight what they potentially stand to lose if they don't act.

Authority

  • People tend to follow those they see as credible, knowledgeable experts.
  • Establish your expertise in a given area.
  • Acknowledge any shortcomings.

Commitment

  • Once people make a clear commitment, they are more likely to align with it.
  • First, ask for small commitments to pave the way later for bigger commitments.
  • Encourage people to make their commitments publicly.

Liking

  • People are more inclined to agree with individuals they like.
  • Uncover real similarities between yourself and the person you're trying to persuade.
  • Offer genuine praise.

Social Proof

  • People often look to the actions of others, especially those similar to them, for guidance.
  • Use peer power whenever possible.

Unity

  • People are more likely to say yes to those they consider one of them, with whom they share an identity.
  • Highlight shared identities between yourself and the person you're trying to persuade.
  • Make them feel included.
