Identify a perception of youth

What nutrients do mothers need to have sufficient amounts of to ensure optimal development for their infant
Iodine, Iron, Folate (Vitamin B)
Define "Proximodistal development" in infancy
Development that occurs from the core or centre of the body outwards towards the extremities
What is the function of Iodine in the development of the foetus
Iodine ensures the healthy development of the baby’s brain and nervous system. It allows nerve cells to develop branching projections that make connections with other nerve cells.
Define "Cephalocaudal development."
cephalocaudal developmt refers to the development that occurs in infancy-early childhood from the head downwards
Smoking during pregnancy is a significant risk factor for a number of conditions. Identify 2 of these conditions.
low birthweight, miscarriage, ectopic pregnancy,
prematurity, complications of the placenta, birth defects, lung function abnormalities, respiratory conditions, and perinatal mortality, SIDS.
What is the function of Folate (Folic acid) for the developing foetus.
Folate is a B-group vitamin that is required for the formation of red blood cells, which transport oxygen around the body. It also assists with DNA synthesis, cell growth and the development of the nervous system of the foetus.

Define 'Epigenetics.'
Epigenetics the study of how behaviours and environment can cause changes that affect the way genes work. These affect how easily the genes are switched on or off.
