the outside looks that makes a person who they really are. In this paper‚ I will try to briefly explain the role genetics play in human development‚ how genes of two parents determine the physical makeup of a child‚ and how certain abnormalities may cause chromosomal disorders such as Huntington’s disease. From the beginning of someone’s life there is no doubt that biology sets the stage for that person’s path through physical and mental development. The genes that parents pass down to their children

The early stages of a child’s development is a vital part to how they will interact and function in society as they get older. Children are a collection of all their interactions with people of their environment‚ such a family and peers. Especially if culture or religion are strongly practiced‚ these beliefs are suggested if not forced onto the child for them to believe and act the same way. The kids are modeled different behaviors and encounters where they base their own behaviors off of what they

(Bashford 546). “This new knowledge could be “applied” because of the preexisting eugenic indication for legal abortion: the Danish 1938 eugenic law permitted abortion if there was a risk that the child would be born with “severe and non-curable abnormality of physical disease. Where eugenic abortion laws were not available‚ the imperative to terminate pregnancy‚ in light of the new diagnostic capacity‚ drove abortion’s legalization‚ as much as did women’s arguments for reproductive choice” (Bashford

disorder is present at birth and is estimated to occur in one out of every one thousand live births (1). In very rare instances‚ the syndrome has been passed from father to son‚ but in most cases heredity cannot be established. XYY syndrome is a chromosomal condition which occurs only in males and is found with a frequency of 1 in 1‚000. A chromosome is a rod-like structure present in the nucleus of all body cells‚ with the exception of the red blood cells. Chromosomes store genetic information. Normally

pregnancy will have more of a chance of having a person develop Down syndrome. I even thought this. But in my studies on this subject i found that‚ to my surprise‚ it is a genetic disorder. My cousin who had had Down syndrome had it because it was a chromosomal disorder. Not an environmental or self-medicated teratogen played a part on him developing trisomy 21(Down syndrome). On the other hand‚ environmental and self-medicated teratogens played a huge part on his foetal development and his growth rate

Klinefelter syndrome‚ also known as the XXY condition‚ is a term used to describe males who have an extra X chromosome in most of their cells. Instead of having the usual XY chromosome pattern that most males have‚ these men have an XXY pattern. Klinefelter syndrome is named after Dr. Henry Klinefelter‚ who first described a group of symptoms found in some men with the extra X chromosome. Even though all men with Klinefelter syndrome have the extra X chromosome‚ not every XXY male has all of those

Genetic disorders are one or more abnormalities in genomes‚ a genetic disorder is usually apparent at birth. Genetic disorders are usually rare and impact one in several thousands‚ if not millions. Prader-Willi Syndrome is a genetic disorder that causes obesity‚ intellectual disability‚ and shortness in height. PWS was first described by Swiss doctors Andrea Prader‚ Alexis Labhart‚ and Heinrich Willi in 1956 based on the clinical characteristics of nine children they examined. PWS is recognized as
