Epigenetics: Nature vs nurture 

Yes

Everything is your choice people can’t force you to do things it may seem like it but it’s your life and it’s who you are

can anyone explain what "bidirectional" means?

@@miranx5735 Bi basically means two, so two-directional aka. works both ways/directions

Well, I guess what we decide also comes from nurture which is our lifestyle+environment and experience and I think that eventually links to our genotypic expression. Development happens in presence of environment so I think we can't separate who we are to the choices we make. and I believe that 'we can decide what we become' is more of a motivational philosophical quote and it certainly helps as again (environment+lifestyle). But hey I can be wrong its just my opinion.

mine too XD

High lickers

Ashley Joy Make me your rat papa. 😜

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

I LAUGHED SOOO HARD

Hi, You sound hidiously entitled, if you are a university, make your own.

@@uio-detmedisinskefakultet4242 they meant subtitles which it seems are active now.

its not just friends and family, its Your environment in general. You don't have a killing gene.

You are correct I’m always being influenced by my parents, friends, coaches whatever and they make me into the person I am today

For the most part, It's not our choice. The choice belongs to the life we are blessed or cursed with. That is were our response and attitudes come from. Lauryn -- Thank chance or God that you are blessed with great role models because many people are not so lucky..

Not necessarily. If you witness your father abusing your mother and not talk about it ever. That anger you have to your father will come out at the worst moments

I feel it could be more complicated than that. For example neurodivergence would make decision making rationally difficult/impossible. I don’t think it’s always this straight forward

In the case of Body Building, yes it does. Genetics determine how big or how swollen certain parts of your body can be whether it be body composition, arms, legs, back and etc.

@@luicifiero could that also be influenced by diet or even hormonal differences caused by environmental factors?

Bravo

No hun. Its saying that behavior is influenced by genes AND environment - not just one of the other. It definitely leaves room for debate.

@@krystalthomas7247 i was talking about GENES, not behaviour. But that is true what you were saying.

It was just an example. It could have been the other around.

You have an independent mind, meaning, you observe patterns not directly taught to you. Yes, I see your point about the pairs in nature, and it's clear you recognize the pattern not only in biology but in other areas, like the cycles of night and day. Do you recognize that these designs must have had a designer? If you see a painting do you recognize there must have been a painter?

I noticed that too. I'm trying to differentiate between nature and nurture but when it said that your environment can affect your biology it had me stumped.

The offspring of low licking rat mothers have high rates of hypertension(high blood pressure), heart disease, diabetes, cancer, and are very aggressive, violent and are antisocial. Think of how much that costs human society. The poor in the US mistreat their offspring and brag about it. Look at the medical, prison, and social costs.

I was thinking of confirmation bias as I watched this video as well......

This is total bs, show me something to support your claim. Also in the video they explicitly say that it's a combination of the two. And there is no doubt about in as far as I'm concerned.

I would recommend a film called Identical Strangers, a documentary about a longtitudinal study of triplets who were intentionally separated and raised by different families in different socioeconimic groups. Highly unethical study, and with very different outcomes than previous studies have indicated. The video is accurate to a point, for more information read Not By Genes alone, Richicherson & Boyd, 2005.

research has shown that twins do have similar outcomes, but in cases in which they do not it is because of the impact of the environment which triggers the whole epigenetic process to occur. The video isn't wrong it's simply explaining why some twins may not have a similar outcome, if the environment is drastically different and at the end of two different spectrums then it's more likely the outcomes would be different as well due to epigenetics.

Jim Sourdif it was using the twins as a gimmick in the video not the main point you have failed to understand their argument, and based your opposition on a fallacy. You are fundamentally flawed

sources please ??

Maratib Ali Shad but isn't your concsience, emotions, body, and mental intelligences are all just products of genetics

John Isaac Felipe all higher forms of conscience, body, mind and emotions are not products of the genes.

well they are, everything about yourself is produced by your genes, you likes, dislikes, your habits, and the areas of comfortability are all results of your genes expressing itself. it can only be suppressed or enhanced by the environment you are in. its silly to think that evolution has contributed heavily in the polymorphism of our species in all manners of physical attributes except the brain as if the brain isn't a physical thing. especially when the brain is the most important organ and thus recieve the most fine tuning (which is supported by the dominance in the number of transferable alleles that designates the creation of the mind compared to any part of the body). if you were born a psychopath, you are a psychopath, if you were born a savant, you are a savant, if you were born as a genius, then you are a genius, all the environment does to you is that it determines to what extent is your psychological and mental alleles are expressed.

if this is true what you say than power of chice is also determinded by Genes? Great decisions made by man in history were result of only genes not spiriutal connections to make power of choice?

Maratib Ali Shad most likely. I'm not saying that each of your decision was fated to happen due to your genetics, but your decisions are actually heavily influenced by it.

David Hernandez you're welcome

Hva med norsk teksting? Forøvrig veldig bra.

okay, so from the research I have gathered, not every trait can be influenced by genetics, such as lets say the way you look. Your environment will have a very minimal impact on the way you will look because your phenotype is largely genetics. However there are some traits that can be influenced by the environment and are found in your "epigenome" I think a lot more research needs to be done in this field to figure this out.

Sounds like a miserable existence to live under predetermination.

Yes, crime, and evil could prevented. They could even be medically fix. People used to say "What's wrong, didn't your mother love you?" But then poisons got involved and we didn't know for sure if the mother was the cause.

I'm not expert or knowing dude in this topic, but from what I've listen to, my opinion is that you can try to change your behavior by adopting new habits, in this example, try to learn and pratice to be more positive and to see every side of the coin, if I make myself understand. Good luck and best wishes to your improvement

Diogo Sornas thank you very much i will do that in sha allah .. Im moving out soon

@@imawarrior313I'm sure it will go all well!!

Diogo Sornas thank you so much and god bless you!

I'm also not too well versed in epigenetics, but I can give you a story about someone I personally know who went through something similar, and what happened to him that changed him forever. This man had a mentally disabled mother, and a good father, up until this man who was then a boy, turned 10. At 10 his good father abandoned him and his mother. His mother married another, but this person, was a dragon in sheep's clothing. This dragon beat the 10 year old boy, not only beat, but literally tortured him. By the time the boy turned 15, he witnessed his monster of a stepfather rape and kill one of his two only friends. The boy turned the rapist in, and was finally free. See the boys stepfather turned the boy into a trouble maker. Constantly fighting, swearing and hurting others. Once his torturer was gone, he had an identity crisis. His mother wasn't fit for work so he took on the responsibility for providing for the remains of his family. He turned into a working man by age 17. His rage quelled by liquor. He got his booze however he could, and quickly became an alcoholic, at just 17. It helped him forget his past, but dulled his creative mind, cursing him to be but a grunt on the walk of life. By age 19, he found a woman who changed his life. This woman eased pain booze could not, so, he married her 2 weeks after they first met. He would spend the next 14 years, working, drinking, and spending time with his wife. The rage he had was just a relic of a by gone age. He still could feel the pain of his past, not even his wife nor his job could nullify it. By age 33 his wife gave him his eldest son. His son, was the painkiller he was searching for. He made a vow to stop his excessive drinking. He wanted to give his son the childhood he dreamed of when he was a boy. A year later his youngest son came to him. After leaving drink behind he became successful in his workplace, and a very caring husband and father. A few years later tragedy struck him. He had an accident and became disabled. Year by year the nerves in his body slowly die. Leaving him in constant physical pain. But even his defeated body could not break his spirit. He became an even more loving husband and father, and this love spread even outside of his family and into others. Today he has found peace in fishkeeping, family and friends, and his cars. He went from a drunken thug to a father of the whole neighborhood. He did this by keeping his eyes on the road ahead, and finding someone who could help him, then to building a new life of his own. He still bares the scars of his past, and sometimes he can still feel the pain, but always tries to keep himself busy. He spends less time thinking, and more time acting. Hopefully his story shows you that there is always hope, you just have to take life, one step at a time.

Omg, dichotomous is a real word, I checked.

Who is?

Huh?

ayyyy me
