Biological and enviromental foundation

Question 1

Dominant Genes

Answer 1

a gene it does not matter what the other genes says, if this one has a specific characteristic thats what its gonna happen

-it overides any other characteristic

ex:brown eyecolor(dominant) + blue eyes (recessive) = brown eyes

Question 2

recessive

Answer 2

• this genes will only appear if it matches the other same characteristics

ex:blue eyes(ressesive) + blue eyes (recessive) = blue eyes

Question 3

gene-enviroment interactions:Range of Reaction

Answer 3

wide range of potential expressions of genetic traits,dependig on enviromental opportunities and costrains

ex:depression,obesidity

pre-disposition to be thin but the enviroment allows you to eat a lot of food makes you abese

Question 4

Gene-Enviroment Interactions: Canalization

opposit of range of reaction

Answer 4

Heredity narrows range of development to only one or possibly a few outcomes

ex:children walk in 4 months,we dont see kids being able to walk before that (although they might be some special reasons that is not true)

canals are narrow

Question 5

Maternal Characteristics and Behaviours

Answer 5

• **Nutrition: **mothers must eat a lot, and they need to get pholectic acid

*** Maternal Illness: **if they get sick(varius) it can cause miscarage or problems in child development but it depends on what kinda of verius and when she gets it(what phase of development the fetus is in)
ex:zica virus

• Emotional well-being(cronic stress/trauma): kids agressive behaviour,ADD,anxiety can link to parents stress while pregnant
• Age: the older you are the harder is to get pregnant and maintaning the pregancy, women over 40 have higher risk pregancy complications,over 40 have higher risk to have down syndrom kids, more likely to have a still-born baby
• Prenatal care: need to get time of work,transportation abilityto have pre-natal care
• prenatal care is very important to have a healthy baby
• ethinic and SES Diaspear: much less likely to get prenatal care
