Alfredo Salazar 1/28/2013 What have you learned? Chapter 1 1. What makes the study of human development a science? It seeks to understand how and why people‚ all kinds of people‚ everywhere‚ of every age‚ change overtime. 3. Why have recommendations regarding the sleeping circumstances of infants changed? Every year until the mid-1990‚ thousands of 2 to 4 month olds died of SIDS. Susan Beal hypothesized that sleeping position might matter‚ as a result‚ SIDS rate dramatically decreased.

Human Growth & Development Chapters 1‚ 2‚ & 3 Study Guide Chapter 1 1. What is meant by discontinuous and continuous development? Continuous development is a process of gradually augmenting the same types of skills that were there to begin with. Discontinuous development is a process in which new ways of understanding and responding to the world emerge at specific times. Broken down‚ Continuous means infants/preschoolers respond much like adults do and Discontinuous means they have their own

Mutations can affect a population as a whole but also affects the individual‚ whose mutated genotype may affect its phenotype‚ causing it to become different from it’s grorup. Natural selection will either allow this individual to live and reproduce (if the mutation is beneficial) or cause it to die due to its genetically induced lack of fitness. Migration occurs

Eukaryotic organisms contain chromosomes‚ which contain alleles. Alleles are responsible for the phenotype (observable characteristic) that is expressed by the individual. Alleles can be dominant or recessive.

These differences can be attributed to the genotype and phenotype variation between people. It tends to not be biologically significant to divide humans in to racial groups it is more of a social concept.
