2. subfield of biology that studies the molecular structure and function of genes
3. condition resulting from surgery that isolates the brain's two hemispheres
4. large band of natural fibers connecting the two brain hemisphere and carrying messages between them
7. condition in which a person can respond to visual stimuli without conciously experiencing it
8. processing many aspects of a problem simultaneously
10. the study of the evolution of behavior and the mind, using principles of natural selection
11. threadlike structures made of dna molecules that contain genes
13. the study of how the structure and function of genes interact with our environment to influence behavior
16. processing one aspect of a problem at a time
17. the interplay that occurs when the effect of one factor depends on another factor
18. random error in gene mutation that leads to a change
19. the biochemical units of heredity that make up the chromosomes
20. the complete instructions for making an organism, consisting of all the genetic material in that organism's chromosomes

1. the proportion of the variation among individuals in a group that we can attribute to genes
5. the interdisciplinary study of the brain activity linked with cognition
6. the principle that inherited traits that better enable an organism to survive and reproduce in a particular environment will most likely be passed on to the succeeding generations
9. the principle that information is often simultanuesly processed on seperate concious and unconcious tracks
12. study of environmental influences on gene expression that occurs without a dna change
14. developed from separate fertilized eggs
15. a complex molecule containing the genetic info that makes up the chromosomes
