General Principle of Normal Development

  1. Normal development progresses in orderly step-by-step sequences.

  2. All areas of development are interrelated.

  3. The skills acquired earlier determine how well later skills.

  4. Although there are developmental milestones in each of the growth areas, children manifest individual differences in their rate of development. Each child develops at his or her own pace.

Typical Development

Meeting developmental milestones at the appropriate stages (normal development).

Atypical Development

Significantly delayed attainment of milestones or skills in one or more domains, but in an expected sequence.

The Human Genome Project [Timeline].

12
New cards

The Human Genome Project [Goal]

To discover and map the book of life, the precise biochemical code for each of the thousands of human genes and make the information available for further biological study.

13
New cards

The Human Genome Project [Findings]

  • Revealed a wealth of information on how each gene functions and malfunctions to trigger deadly diseases like cancer, AIDS, cardiovascular diseases, diabetes and arthritis.

  • Include data on genes related to mental retardation and other developmental disabilities.

  • Identified genes that undergo mutation.

The Human Genome Project [Benefits]

  • Drugs can be created based on people’s unique molecular information.

  • DNA tests can be developed to diagnose a disease, confirm the existence of a disease in a person without symptoms

  • Predict the risk of future diseases in healthy individuals and their offspring.

  • Make possible an entirely new approach to biological research.

  • Potential of treating or even curing inherited and acquired diseases.
