DEP 2004 (IRSC) Test 1: Questions With Correct
Solutions
The perspective that development is lifelong, multidimensional,
multidirectional, plastic, multidisciplinary, and contextual; involves growth,
maintenance, and regulation; and is constructed through biological,
sociocultural, and individual factors working together. Right Ans - Life-
span perspective
Influences that are similar for individuals in a particular age group.
Examples are puberty, menopause, retirement. Right Ans - Normative
age-graded influences
involves the degree to which early traits and characteristics persists
through life or change. Right Ans - Stability- Change issue
Theory stating that children actively construct their understanding of the
world and go through four stages of cognitive development. Right Ans -
Piaget's theory
A sociocultural cognitive theory that emphasizes how culture and social
interaction guide cognitive development. Right Ans - Vygotsky's theory
A single cell formed through fertilization. Right Ans - Zygote
A person's genetic heritage; the actual genetic material. Right Ans -
Genotype
The way an individual's genotype is expressed in observed and measurable
characteristics. Right Ans - Phenotype
Most mutated genes are recessive. When mutated gene is carried on the X
Chromosome the result is called x-linked inheritance. This can have
implications for males who only have 1 X chromosome. Right Ans - Sex
linked Genes
A chromosomal disorder in which males have an extra X chromosome,
making them XXY instead of XY. Right Ans - Klinefelter syndrome
, A chromosomal disorder in which males have an extra Y chromosome.
Right Ans - XYY Syndrome
A genetic disorder in which an individual cannot properly metabolize an
amino acid called phenylalanine. It's now easily detected but, if left
untreated, results in mental retardation and hyperactivity. Right Ans -
Phenylketonuria (PKU)
The period of prenatal development that takes place in the first two weeks
after conception. It includes the creation of the zygote, continued cell
division, and the attachment of the zygote to the uterine wall. Right Ans
- Germinal period
The period of prenatal development that occurs two to eight weeks after
conception. During this period, the rate of cell differentiation intensifies,
support systems for the cells form, and organs appear. Right Ans -
Embryonic period
The life-support system that is a bag or envelope that contains a clear fluid
in which the developing embryo floats. Right Ans - Amniom
A life-support system containing two arteries and one vein that connects
the baby to the placenta. Right Ans - Umbilical cord
A life-support system that consists of a disk-shaped group of tissues in
which small blood vessels from the mother and offspring intertwine.
Right Ans - Placenta
Lasting about seven months, the prenatal period between two months after
conception and birth in typical pregnancies. Right Ans - Fetal period
1) labor- longest of three, ends with baby in birth canal2) delivery- baby's
head moves through the cervix and birth canal. Ends when baby is
completely emerged.3) afterbirth- placenta, umbilical cord, and other
membranes detach and expel. Right Ans - Stages of childbirth
The third stage of birth, when the placenta, umbilical cord, and other
membranes are detached and expelled. Right Ans - Afterbirth
