lungs, stomach, intestines and muscle.
1.Heredity
•the body perform its functions least well during
infancy and old age. -Biological processes of transmission of traits
from parents of offspring
•physical efficiency generally peaks in early
adulthood and declines into the middle age. -the sex and other physical traits are
determined by the combination of chromosome
•physical development and growth during
and genes during fertilization (the union of the
childhood continues at a slow rate compared
two cells: Egg and Sperm cells)
with rapid rate of growth in babyhood.
Chromosomes
•one of the most crucial stage of development
is the adolescent stage -threads like tissues that carries the genes, and
are usually found in pair
•it begins with the onset of puberty
-a human typically has 23 pairs of

1.autosomes or trait chromosomes (22 pairs)

Genes
• outline the stages of lifespan or the
development from conception to death -the basic carries of hereditary traits
NATURE VS. NURTURE -it can be classified into
NATURE A. dominant (strong genes)- the expressed
form of the traits when present (even if it is just
Sociobiologists , psychologist and others in the 1allele)
natural sciences argue that behaviour traits can
be explained by genetics B. recessive (week genes)- the traits not
expressed when the dominant form of the trait
NURTURE is present.
Sociologist, anthropologist and others in the 2.Environment
social sciences argue that human behaviour is
learned and shaped through interaction. -Refers to the factors to which the individual is
exposed after conception to death which
FACTORS AFFECTING PHYSICAL GROWTH includes learning and experience.
AND DEVELOPMENT
-factors such as diet, nutrition and diseases
1. Heredity play an important role in physical development
