ok welll
MAOA is monoamine oxidase A
it break downs nuero transmitter such as serotonin and dopamine
if the level of MAOA is raised or decreased it causes mutations
low levels -nervous disorder
dependance on alcohol
parkinsons disease

high levels-risk takin and aggressive behavior
tension favors high release of MAOA
and maltreatment causes low release
this enzyme is produced with the help of a dominate gene located on the X chromosome

if there is to much of this enzyme it breaks down too many of the nuerotransmitters which can affect ur mood
hence it is linked with depression


but i remember MAOA being majorly in males so shouldnt it b on the Y chromosome ? :o i could b wrong

well i did one of the papers and there was a question regarding gene differentiation. when i checked the mark scheme, they gave the points as for example, a stem cell in a particular part of the body requires production of ATP for instance. so a few of the genes which aid in ATP synthesis are EnViRnoMeNtAlLy activated. these cause the specific protein to b synthesized and so it changes it state of pluripotency and forms a speciallised cell. i read this a long time ago so my explanation is abit vague,

as fer the others, don't actually read my explanation unless u can explain it to me :P cause it mite give the wrong idea so plz, i don't wanna b the reason if such a question comes up n my explanation which U hav memorized, goes wrong :(
