A Double-stranded molecule that encodes genetic instructions; THE CHEMICAL BASIS OF HEREDITY.
DNA
How genes and environmental factors interact to guide development
When two people have a very SIMILAR genotype, but if they live in different environments their phenotypes differ. ***Genetic Predisposition***
The underlying genetic makeup or the genetic makeup of an individual organism
Genotype
Causes abnormal development.This causes malformations of defects in an embryo or fetus. EX: Exposure to radiation,toxic chemicals/metals,viruses/bacteria, and Drugs.
Teratogens
In born predispositions to consistently behave and react in a certain way. Patterns: Easy, Difficult, Slow-to-warm.
Temperament
People with a particular genetic configuration are more or less sensitive to particular environmental factors.
Genetic Predisposition
Attachments to other caregivers in their lives. EX: MOM, GRANDMA, ETC.
Multiple attachment
A long thread-like structure, composed of twisted parallel STRANDS OF DNA found in the cell nucleus.
Chromosomes
The transitional STAGE between Late Childhood and beginning of Adulthood which sexual maturity is reached.
