Dialogue: 0,0:00:26.87,0:00:31.31,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Why does any organism have different characteristics to another organism? Dialogue: 0,0:00:32.37,0:00:37.45,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The answer lies in a long-running debate called nature versus nurture, Dialogue: 0,0:00:37.80,0:00:40.23,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,or genetics versus environment, Dialogue: 0,0:00:40.63,0:00:42.11,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,which is a little less catchy.

Dialogue: 0,0:01:51.78,0:01:56.14,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,We would say that the environment has influenced these characteristics too Dialogue: 0,0:01:56.68,0:01:59.84,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,or that a plant has been affected by nurture. Dialogue: 0,0:02:00.84,0:02:02.76,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Can you decide if each of these Dialogue: 0,0:02:02.77,0:02:06.23,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,characteristics is controlled by inherited characteristics, Dialogue: 0,0:02:06.46,0:02:08.26,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the environment, or both?

Dialogue: 0,0:02:57.73,0:03:01.19,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,These studies showed that many characteristics are Dialogue: 0,0:03:01.20,0:03:04.63,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,influenced by both genetics and the environment. Dialogue: 0,0:03:06.64,0:03:11.82,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Some studies actually used twins identical genomes as a control Dialogue: 0,0:03:11.83,0:03:14.46,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to prove the effect of the environment on the body.

Dialogue: 0,0:03:24.57,0:03:27.87,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Remember that the characteristics of a living organism Dialogue: 0,0:03:28.08,0:03:32.66,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,are influenced by its genetics and its interaction with the environment, Dialogue: 0,0:03:33.09,0:03:34.23,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,so both nature Dialogue: 0,0:03:34.36,0:03:36.31,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and nurture are responsible.
