Chromosomes are found in every living cell. They are made up of strands of DNA. In DNA there are parts of it called genes (Manda, A, 2014). Genetics is the study of heredity. Heredity is a biological process in which parents pass on certain genes to their children. Every child inherits genes from their parents and these genes turn into traits (Manda, A, 2014). Arnold Gessel (2013), believed that a child is born with a set of generic instructions that are passed down from parents. Gessel believed that these generic instructions would develop over time. Gessel believed that the environment has no impact on an individual's behavior and that it is purely genetic (Cherry, 2012). Gessel (2013) stated that the environment would only support these generic instructions. This theory would suggest that everything that happened in J's life would be predetermined before she was even born. An individual's behavior can also be influenced by other people. In society people expect people to behave in certain ways. Social situations have a set of expectations about the right way to behave (McLeod,
