3. Babyhood - 2 weeks of life to 2nd year
4. Early childhood - 2 to 6 years old
   S. Late childhood - 6 to 10 or 12 years old
5. Puberty- 10 or 12 to 14 years old
6. Adolescence - 14 to 18 years old
7. Early adulthood - 18 to 40 years old
8. Middle adulthood - 40 to 60 years old
9. Late adulthood or senescence - 60 years old to death

Question 4

The physical self refers to the body. Both physical extremities and internal organs work together for the body to perform many of its functions, such as breathing, walking, eating, and sleeping, among others. The body’s ability to perform its functions gradually changes through an individual’s aging. In general, the body performs least during infancy and old age. Physical efficiency generally peaks in early adulthood, between the ages of 20 and 30, and then slowly declines into middle age. Physical development and growth during childhood continue at a slow rate compared to the rapid rate of growth in babyhood.
Adolescence begins with the onset of puberty. This stage is characterized by rapid physical changes that include the maturation of the reproductive system. Each individual goes through a succession of developmental stages through his or her life span. Life span refers to the development from conception to death.

diet, nutrition, and diseases

Question 9

Determined by the combination of chromosomes and genes during fertilization when the egg and sperm cells unite.

Answer 9

Sex and other physical traits

Question 10

Are threadlike tissues that carry the genes and are usually found in pairs.

Answer 10

Chromosomes

Question 11

Physical growth and development is the product of heredity and the environment. Heredity is the biological process of the inheritance of traits from parents to offspring. Environment refers to the factors an individual is exposed to throughout life, which includes learning and experiences. Environmental factors, such as diet, nutrition, and diseases, play an important role in an individuals physical development.

Sex and other physical traits are determined by the combination of chromosomes and genes during fertilization when the egg and sperm cells unite. Chromosomes are threadlike tissues that carry the genes
and are usually found in pairs. There are 23 pairs of chromosomes, which are classified as autosomes or trait chromosomes (22 pairs), and gonosomes or sex chromosomes. The sex of the offspring depends on the pairing of the sex chromosomes (234) from the father and mother. Genes are the basic carrier of hereditary traits and are classified as dominant (strong genes) and recessive (weak genes).

Answer 11

TWO FACTORS AFFECTING PHYSICAL GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT

Question 12

Basic carrier of hereditary traits and are classified as dominant (strong genes) and recessive (weak genes).

Answer 12

Genes
