Question
Chapter 53, Problem 2IQ
Summary Introduction
To determine: The reason that lack of fosB alleles lead to maternal inattentiveness.
Introduction: Genes have a specific role in the organisms to regulate the behavior of the organism. A single gene controls the different types of behaviors, such as maze, feeding, attentiveness, and others. For example, FosB genes play an essential role in providing maternal care in female mice.
