Document Summary
They influence everything (remember genes and environment) Moment of conception: (1) specific human genome, (2) sex of the child, xx and xy become salient in child development, (3) number of birth (member of a multiple birth or not) If you"re concerned about what they are, be sure to e-mail him or see him during his office hours. What happened to all those boys in utero: they die. I. genome: the plan: 23 pairs of chromosomes, non-random, sequential, stage-like plan for development, commonalities vs. The plan is what makes us soo similar yet so subtly different: genotype: the complex blend of genetic information that determines our species and influences all our unique characteristics. The father or mother: xx & xy. Men have sometimes x and sometimes y: therefore the father is responsible for the sex of the child. If you"ve (both men and women) decided to delay getting married, you"ve most likely delayed having babies.
