| XXY Complement | xyy Tall with below normal intelligence |
| TURNER'S SYNDROME | x limited sex development, problems perceiving spacial relations |
| xxx syndrome | motor and language development problems |
| polygenic inheritance | phenotypes reflect the combined activity of many genes |
| reaction range | when the same genotype produces a range of phenotypes depending on the environment |
| niche picking | seeking environments based on heredity |
| nonshared environmental influences | forces within a family that make children different |
| Zygote | Weeks 1-2 fertilized egg, |
| germ disc | small cluster of cells near center of zygote becomes the baby |
| amnion | sac the embryo rests in |
| amniotic fluid | cushions embryo and maintains temp |
| umbilical cord | houses blood vessels that join embryo and placenta |
| ectoderm | hair outer layer |
| mesoderm | middle forms muscles bones and circulatory system |
