Heredity<span>, </span><span>the sum of all biological processes by which particular characteristics are transmitted from parents to their offspring. The concept of heredity encompasses two seemingly paradoxical observations about organisms: the constancy of a </span>species<span> from generation to generation and the </span>variation<span> among individuals within a species. Constancy and variation are actually two sides of the same coin, as becomes clear in the study of </span>genetics<span>. Both aspects of heredity can be explained by </span>genes<span>, the functional units of heritable material that are found within all living </span>cell<span>s. Every member of a species has a set of genes specific to that species. It is this set of genes that provides the constancy of the species. Among individuals within a species, however, variations can occur in the form each </span>genetic<span>s, providing the genetic basis for the fact that no two individuals (except identical twins) have exactly the same traits.</span>

In what type of situations would random sampling (last lab) be useful?
egoroff_w [7]

In some types of research the target population might be as broad as all humans, but in other types of research the target population might be a smaller group such as teenagers, pre-school children or people who misuse drugs.

It is more or less impossible to study every single person in a target population so psychologists select a sample or sub-group of the population that is likely to be representative of the target population we are interested in.

This is important because we want to generalize from the sample to target population. The more representative the sample, the more confident the researcher can be that the results can be generalized to the target population.

One of the problems that can occur when selecting a sample from a target population is sampling bias. Sampling bias refers to situations where the sample does not reflect the characteristics of the target population.
