Heredity is properly defined as the “sum of the characteristics and potentialities genetically derived from one's ancestors” (Merriam-Webster Dictionary, 2011). At the time of conception, each embryo receives a portion of genetics from each parent's or donor's gene pool, enabling the process to create another human being; which we call baby. Genetics tells us what types of traits the embryo will inherit through the genes of the parent or donor. Regardless, it is possible that the embryo will get either good genes or bad genes, or both, from the parent or donor genes. Therefore, when the two genes are combined, then they become the traits of one person. When the fetus is born, it will be exposed to all the elements of life until the person dies. In turn, due to this exposure to life, this process could in turn affect the person's behavior, regardless of their genes. Genetics by themselves do not control a person's behavior, but when you add hormone into the consideration, it is another factor to take into account. When considering a person's hormones as a factor, this type of problem can contribute to the person's behavioral problems. However, according to researchers, human hormones are now considered a powerful medicine that the body produces from the endocrine glands. However, when you combine both a gene and hormones, it can influence the person's behavior. According to research, behavioral development begins at conception, after several studies. When genes from both parents are passed on to the child, these genes can contribute to the child's intelligence, talents, behavior, and other types of disorders. However, the development of behavior can also be ...... middle of paper ...... We would not exist without the adrenal hormones that the body produces. However, according to researchers, healthy adrenal glands could lead to a healthier body. Heredity genes and hormones produced by the body can affect and influence a person's behavior. Therefore, traits considered purely genetic may have high heritability; while other traits can be influenced by environment, environment and behavior with low heritability. Many traits exist due to a mix of genetic and environmental issues. Inherited traits could be considered the foundation from which each person can build and shape their own distinctive personality. Hormones can be affected by diet, exercise and medications. Controlling and adapting to the environment allows everyone to survive and be master of their destiny...
