This aspect of development involves the growth of the body and brain, the senses, and motor skills.

What is physical development?

100

This type of test is used to detect potential genetic disorders in unborn babies.

What is prenatal testing?

100

These factors include genes inherited from parents that can influence birth defects. 

What are genetic factors?

100

This lifestyle choice during pregnancy can increase the risk of birth defects.

What is smoking?

100

This type of gene requires only one copy to express a trait. 

What is a dominant gene

200

This development domain includes learning, attention, memory, language, thinking, and reasoning.

What is cognitive development?

200

This prenatal test uses ultrasound to check for physical abnormalities.

What is an ultrasound scan?

200

These external influences, such as toxins and nutrition, can affect fetal development. 

What are environmental factors?

200

This nutrient is vital for preventing birth defects and is found in leafy greens and fortified cereals

What is folic acid?

200

This type of gene requires two copies to express a trait.

What is a recessive gene?

300

This domain refers to the ability to interact with others and manage personal emotions.

What is social emotional domain

300

This non-invasive test screens for Down syndrome and other chromosomal conditions.

What is the NIPT (Non-Invasive Prenatal Testing)?

300

This vitamin is crucial in preventing neural tube defects like Spina Bifida.

What is folic acid?

300

Avoiding these substances during pregnancy can minimize environmental birth defects.

What are alcohol and drugs?

300

This condition occurs when both parents carry a recessive gene, passing it to their child.

What is an autosomal recessive disorder?

400

This aspect of development relates to understanding right from wrong. 

What is moral development?

400

This test involves taking a small sample of the placenta to check for genetic disorders

What is chorionic villus sampling (CVS)?

400

This genetic condition results from an extra chromosome 21.

What is Down syndrome?

400

This lifestyle change can significantly reduce the risk of birth defects. 

What is maintaining a healthy diet and exercise?

400

The study of these influences helps understand inherited traits and potential birth defects. 

What is genetics/heredity?

500

These domains are interrelated and essential for developing the whole child.

What is Biological/Physical, Cognitive/Intellectual, and Social/Emotional domains of development.

500

This prenatal test is crucial for early detection of birth defects and ensuring healthy development.

What is the role of prenatal testing?

500

Both of these factors play a significant role in the development of birth defects. 

What are genetic and environmental factors?

500
These factors are crucial for minimizing the risk of environmental birth defects. 

What are lifestyle factors?

500

Understanding these gene types is essential for predicting inherited conditions
