Document Summary

Understand typical and atypical development and how they are mutually informative. Understand major developmental disorder: genetic or other causes, symptoms and syndrome, environmental conditions that interfere or support development. Understand theory about what causes, maintains or can improve poor developmental outcomes. Understand research methods used to study developmental disorders: limitations of their use. Implications of research findings for those with disorders but also for typical developmental outcomes. Understand how systems and policies (eg, families, schools, community, and government policy) affect the lives of people with disabilities. Genotype: a particular set of genes that a person inherits from his or her parents. Phenotype: the (cid:271)eha(cid:448)io(cid:396)al p(cid:396)odu(cid:272)t of the i(cid:374)te(cid:396)a(cid:272)tio(cid:374) of a pe(cid:396)so(cid:374)(cid:859)s ge(cid:374)otype (cid:449)ith the environment. Meiosis cell division of germ cells. Mitosis cell division of body sells: your body cells are replicating. Chromosomes threadlike structure located in the nucleus of the cel that carry genetic information: 23 from each parent. Each of us has billions of cells.
