Question

Maggie wants to be a writer when she grows up. She has already started work on a children's book, and uses a lot of imagination in her day to day activities. Genes could have indirectly influenced Maggie's writing ability by:

stimulating the growth of the nervous systems, which helped the creative centers of her brain grow.

b. activating the creative gene.

stimulating the growth of the motor systems which helped her brain grow.

not doing anything at all. Genes have no influence here.

Explanation / Answer

b. activating the creative gene.

All of our physical and mental activities are pre-determined by our gene code. We inherit a lot of gene pool from our ancestors, and we use very less number of them becuase we always do the regualr repeated things. If we want to do diverse functions, we need different genes to be activated to synthesise more proteins that are critical for that fucntions Gne activation interms of phenotypic expression is partly influenced by environmental conditions. For example in this case, Maggie started work on a children's book, and uses a lot of imagination in her day to day activities, which act as a stimulus to activate her genes lined with creativity.

We can clearly observe one thing, if we use to calculate math equations with brain, obviously our brain can do well, or if we always use calculator, we will not be able to do simple math. This is not becuase we dont have the ability, but because of not having the stimulus (which is critical for gene activation).
