Q

Week 2 Discuss the importance of understanding the interaction between genes and the environment during prenatal development in the context of developmental psychology.

A

Answer: This question would require students to explore how genetic predispositions and environmental factors, such as maternal health, nutrition, and stress, interact to influence development before birth. Students should discuss the implications of this interaction for later cognitive, emotional, and physical development, as well as the relevance of this understanding for developmental psychology.

Q

Week 2 Difference between meiosis and mitosis

A

The key differences between meiosis and mitosis lie in their purpose, process, and outcomes. Here’s a summary:

Mitosis
Purpose: Mitosis is the process of cell division that results in two identical daughter cells, each with the same number of chromosomes as the original cell. It is used for growth, repair, and asexual reproduction in somatic (non-reproductive) cells.
Process:
A single cell undergoes one division cycle, resulting in two identical cells.
Each daughter cell has the full set of chromosomes (diploid, 2n), which means they have two sets of chromosomes (one from each parent).
Outcome:
Two genetically identical cells, each with the same number of chromosomes as the original cell (typically 46 in humans).
Role: Important for general growth, tissue repair, and replacement of old cells.

Meiosis
Purpose: Meiosis is a special type of cell division that produces gametes (sperm and ova) for sexual reproduction. It reduces the chromosome number by half to create cells with only one set of chromosomes (haploid).
Process:
Involves two division cycles (Meiosis I and Meiosis II).
The first division (Meiosis I) separates homologous chromosomes, while the second division (Meiosis II) separates sister chromatids, leading to four non-identical cells.
Each resulting cell has half the number of chromosomes (haploid, n) compared to the original cell.
Outcome:
Four genetically unique cells, each with half the number of chromosomes of the original cell (23 in humans).
Role: Essential for sexual reproduction, contributing to genetic diversity through recombination and the formation of unique gametes.

Summary
Mitosis produces two identical diploid cells, maintaining the chromosome number, and is used for growth and repair.
Meiosis produces four genetically unique haploid cells, reducing the chromosome number by half, and is used for sexual reproduction.

Hypoxia: Caused by labour complications such as “failure to progress” or posterior presentation.

62
Q

WEEK 3 How do contractions and expulsion during childbirth affect the baby?

A

The use of epidural anaesthesia often results in the mother not actively pushing the baby out, which increases the likelihood of an instrumental delivery.
