Newborn starts to suck things that touch their lips
Sucking Reflex
The real bearers of hereditary traits. Dominant genes – are strong genes; while Recessive genes – are weak genes.
Genes
Where babies usually make well-coordinated movements when they are put in water with face down
Swimming Reflex
Thread-like or rope-like bodies that contain the genes and usually found in pairs.
Chromosomes
Starts from conception to birth.

Wherein the baby closes his eyes when there is a bright ray that hits his eyes.
Papillary Reflex
It refers to the measurable changes in an individual, also referred to as growth.
Quantitative Changes

Period of the Fetus or Fetus Stage
Overlaps the end of childhood and it also touches the early part of adolescence. It is the period in the development of man at which the individual is physically capable of sexual reproduction
