Child Development: The Developing Child

Comments

Comments: The comlex interplay of heredity and environment comes to life as current findings are explored. The story of life begins with aspects of conception, the function of genes, chromosomes and DNA, and the process of cell division. In the newly updated version of 'Heredity and Environment', we have added findings on chromosonal abnormalities and sex linked inheritance, as well as the relationship between chronic disease and prenatal unterine environment. This module traces how physical, intellectual, and temperament characteristics as well as inherited diseases occur. In discussing behavioral genetics the intricate interplay between inheritance and environment is played through showing theories of parents' differing influences on the characteristics of the growing child and the shared and non-shared environments. Finally, we have updated the presentation of molecular genetics to include The Human Genome Project and the potentials for gene therapy.
