6.1 The Study of Genetics in Humans Is Constrained by Special Features of Human
Biology and Culture
• Special features:• Controlled mating is not possible• Long generation time• Small family size

• Pedigree: pictorial representation of a family history, a family tree that outlines the inheritance of one or more characteristics
• Proband: the person with whom the pedigree is initiated
6.2 Geneticists Often Use Pedigrees to Study the Inheritance of Characteristics in Humans

6.4 The Study of Twins Can Be Used to Assess the Importance of Genes and Environment on Variation
in a Trait
• Dizygotic twins = non-identical twins
• Monozygotic twins = identical twins
• Concordant trait: the trait shared by both members of a twin pair
• Concordance: the percentage of twin pairs that are concordant for a trait

Traits
• Genetic counseling: provides information related to hereditory conditions

6.8 Comparison of Human and Chimpanzee Genomes Is Helping to Reveal Genes That Make
Humans Unique
• Microcephalin 1 to microcephalin 6 regulates human brain size.
• FOXP 2 regulates human speech.
