_____ during pregnancy
ans:> Drank heavily
development
ans:> the process of change in an organism's
physical/social/emotional/cognitive state
critical period
ans:> an optimal period shortly after birth when an organism's exposure
to certain stimuli or experiences produces proper development
sensitive period
ans:> a point in development when organisms are particularly
responsive to specific stimuli and has behaviors that are more easily
modified, but it is less fixed and irreversible than a critical period; causes
learning depositions and affects learning development

chronosystem

DNA
ans:> a complex molecule containing the genetic information that makes
up the chromosomes
genes
ans:> short DNA segments that carry hereditary information; each
gene's activation depends on hormones/environment
mitosis
ans:> cell division in which the nucleus divides into nuclei containing the
same number of chromosomes
meiosis

other pairs in meiosis

ans:> a component of nucleic acids; the base that pairs with Thymine in
DNA
cytosine
, ans:> a component of nucleic acids; the base that pairs with Guanine in
DNA
alleles
ans:> different versions of the same gene
dominant alleles
ans:> an allele whose trait always shows up in the organism when the
allele is present
recessive alleles
ans:> alleles that show their effects only when both alleles are the same;
it is masked when there is a dominant alleles
co-dominant alleles
ans:> two different alleles at a locus are responsible for different
phenotypes, and both alleles affect the phenotype of the heterozygote
heterozygote
ans:> organism that inherits a gene with two different alleles
homozygote
ans:> organism that inherits a gene with two alleles of the same type
fertilization
ans:> when an egg and a sperm fuse into a zygote
