Sandra scarr

Who conducted comprehensive examination of both sides of the nature versus nurture issue

Robert Plomin

What is Relationship between genetics and environment

They influence each other

Genes definition

Our genetic make up

Chromosomes definition

Capsules For Genetics

Dominant trait definition

Genetic trait then needs only to be present to be manifested

Recessive trait definition

Genetic trait that requires one more of it self to be made manifest

Heterozygous definition

When one gene is dominant and the other is recessive

Homozygous definition

The pairs are the same

Genotype definition

The xx or xy thingy for males and females

Phenotype definition

Traits that are visible

Genes definition

The basic unit of heredity

Two types of twins

Monozygotic Or identical


Dizygotic or fraternal

Length of germinal stage

Conception two weeks

What happens during germinal stage

Fertilized the cell begins to divide

How long does the embryonic stage last

Three weeks - eight weeks sometimes referred to as the critical period

Why is the embryonic stage considered the critical period

Agents and conditions can impair prenatal development and lead to birth defects or even death

Teratogen definition

Chemical bacteria or virus or other condition that can impair the development of an embryo

Common teratogens

Aspirin, ibuprofen, cigarette smoke, alcohol, some over-the-counter medications, most prescription medications, x-rays.

Abnormal facial characteristics, slow physical growth, retarded mental development.

How long does the fetal stage last

Nine weeks - 40 weeks

Qualities of the fetus

Organs are now functioning, bones are beginning to harden, grows in length and puts on weight.

Conception of monozygotic twins

Fertilized egg cell splits instead of staying connected during initial cell division

What is the age of viability

22-23 weeks, this is the age at which the fetus has an above average chance of surviving

Two kinds of growth gradients

Cephalocaudal, proximodistal

Cephalocaudal growth

Growth is moving from head to tail

Proximodistal growth

Growth is taking place from near to far or inside out

Signs of labor

Stages of labor

Dilation stage

Last from 4-20 hours


This is where pain is felt


Anesthetics are given at this stage

Expulsion stage

This is where the baby is born

Placental stage

Where are the placental leaves the body

Apgar score

10 point scale that evaluates the baby and overall health

Dizygotic twins conception

Two separate sperm cells fertilize two separate egg cells

Apgar score indicates that there may be a problem

Seven or below

Apgar score that indicates there is definitely a problem

Four or below

The Apagar score is derived from these five areas

Heart rate, muscle tone, respiration, color, reflex response

Another word that means newborn
