DEVELOPMENT IN CULTURALLY DIVERSE
POPULATIONS. 2024/2025 QUETSIONS AND
ANSWERS A+ GRADE REVISION MATERIAL
1 . prenatal development: begins with fertilization and ends with birth
2. 3 phases of prenatal development: germinal, embryonic, fetal
3. genotype: persons genetic material
4. phenotype: An organism's physical appearance, or visible traits.
5. epigenetic views: bidirectional- heredity and environment influence
each other
6. anencephaly: head end of the neural tube fails to close
7. spina bifida: a congenital defect that occurs during early
pregnancy when the spinal canal fails to close completely around
the spinal cord to protect it -high levels in stress of mothers
-taking B vitamin folic acid
-2 in 1,000 births
8. what can influence gene expression: stress, nutrition, respiration,
radiation, temperature, loneliness, and sleep
-increased cortisol produced a fivefold increase in DNA damage
9. methlyation: a biochemical process that influences behavior by
suppressing gene activity and expression
-depression, breast cancer, lung cancer, colorectal cancer, leukemia,
obesity, H TN
10. meiosis: 23 unpaired
1 1 . susceptibility genes: make indidvidual more vulnerable to
accelerated aging or specific diseases

12. longevity genes: make the individual less vulnerable to certain
diseases
13. x linked: more common in men
14. Down Syndrome: extra chromosome 21
1 in every 700 live births
15. Klinefelter Syndrome (XXY): underdeveloped sex organs, breast
development, large hands, and long arms and legs
16. Fragile X Syndrome: a disorder produced by injury to a gene on the
X chromosome, producing mild to moderate mental retardation
17. Tuner Syndrome: X045. Short stature, webbed neck, streak
ovary, bicuspid aortic valve, coarctation (femoral pulse is less than
brachial pulse). Menopause before menarche, ADHD positive
18. XYY syndrome: An extra Y chromosome can cause above-
average height 19. Huntington disease (Huntington chorea):
progressive inherited, degenerative, incurable neurologic disease
20. Phenylketonuria (PKU): a disorder related to a defective
recessive gene on chromosome 12 that prevents metabolism of
phenylalanine
21 . Tay-Sachs disease: A human genetic disease caused by a
recessive allele that leads to the accumulation of certain lipids in the
brain. Seizures, blindness,
and degeneration of motor and mental performance usually become
manifest a few months after birth.
