Domains of Development
This aspect of development involves the growth of the body and brain, the senses, and motor skills.
What is physical development?
This type of test is used to detect potential genetic disorders in unborn babies.
What is prenatal testing?
These factors include genes inherited from parents that can influence birth defects.
What are genetic factors?
This lifestyle choice during pregnancy can increase the risk of birth defects.
What is smoking?
This type of gene requires only one copy to express a trait.
What is a dominant gene
This development domain includes learning, attention, memory, language, thinking, and reasoning.
What is cognitive development?
This prenatal test uses ultrasound to check for physical abnormalities.
What is an ultrasound scan?
These external influences, such as toxins and nutrition, can affect fetal development.
What are environmental factors?
This nutrient is vital for preventing birth defects and is found in leafy greens and fortified cereals
What is folic acid?
This type of gene requires two copies to express a trait.
What is a recessive gene?
This domain refers to the ability to interact with others and manage personal emotions.
What is social emotional domain
This non-invasive test screens for Down syndrome and other chromosomal conditions.
What is the NIPT (Non-Invasive Prenatal Testing)?
This vitamin is crucial in preventing neural tube defects like Spina Bifida.
What is folic acid?
Avoiding these substances during pregnancy can minimize environmental birth defects.
What are alcohol and drugs?
This condition occurs when both parents carry a recessive gene, passing it to their child.
What is an autosomal recessive disorder?
This aspect of development relates to understanding right from wrong.
What is moral development?
This test involves taking a small sample of the placenta to check for genetic disorders
What is chorionic villus sampling (CVS)?
This genetic condition results from an extra chromosome 21.
What is Down syndrome?
This lifestyle change can significantly reduce the risk of birth defects.
What is maintaining a healthy diet and exercise?
The study of these influences helps understand inherited traits and potential birth defects.
What is genetics/heredity?
These domains are interrelated and essential for developing the whole child.
What is Biological/Physical, Cognitive/Intellectual, and Social/Emotional domains of development.
This prenatal test is crucial for early detection of birth defects and ensuring healthy development.
What is the role of prenatal testing?
Both of these factors play a significant role in the development of birth defects.
What are genetic and environmental factors?
What are lifestyle factors?
Understanding these gene types is essential for predicting inherited conditions
What are dominant and recessive genes?
