    Study Notes

    Human Traits: Nature vs. Nurture

    • Nature refers to biological inheritance and genetic factors that influence human traits and behaviors.

    • It encompasses traits such as eye color, height, and predisposition to certain illnesses, shaped by one’s genetic makeup.

    • Nurture encompasses environmental influences on individual traits, including experiences, upbringing, culture, and education.

    • It highlights how social interactions and external conditions can impact development and personality.

    Prenatal Development Stages

    • Germinal Period occurs from conception until approximately two weeks after fertilization.

      • Characterized by cell division and formation of the blastocyst.
      • It ends with implantation of the blastocyst in the uterine wall.

    • Zygote is the initial stage of human development, formed when a sperm cell fertilizes an egg.

      • Contains genetic material from both parents, establishing the foundation for the organism's traits.

    • Embryonic Period spans from the end of the germinal period through eight weeks of development.

      • Major organ systems and structures begin to form during this phase.
      • At the end, the developing organism is referred to as an embryo, showing significant growth and differentiation.
