Document Summary
Race is neither a useful nor appropriate biological concept. Differentiation and development of all body organs occur during prenatal stage so stress during that stage predisposes the individual to disease later in life. Cline: gradual change in some phenotypic characteristic from 1 population to the next. Personal genomics: branch of genomics focused on sequencing individual genomes. Prenatal stage: 1st stage of life beginning with zygote in utero, terminating with birth, and involves multiple mitotic events and differentiation of the body. Postnatal stage: 2nd stage of life beginning with life and terminating with shift to adult stage and involving increases in height, weight, brain growth, and development. Adult stage: 3rd stage of life involving reproductive years and senescence. Deciduous dentition: aka milk teeth/ baby teeth, first set of teeth which forms in utero and erupts shortly after birth. Sexual dimorphism: difference in a physical attribute between males and females of a species. Nonmineralized: refers to bone reduced to its organic component.
