The main focus of behavioral genetics is to explore the interplay between genetics and behavior. This field investigates how genetic variations influence individual behavior traits, such as aggression, learning, and social interactions. By utilizing techniques like twin studies and genome-wide association studies (GWAS), researchers uncover the heritability of specific behaviors and the environmental factors that interact with genetic predispositions. Understanding these relationships can provide insights into disorders, enhance animal breeding practices, and inform conservation strategies by identifying behavioral traits critical for survival.
