Factors in the Development of the Physical

 Heredity (nature) is the transmission of traits or


characteristics from parents to offspring. It provides
the raw materials of which individual is made up.

 Environment (nurture) is the sum total of the forces


or experiences that a person undergoes from
conception to old age. It also includes family,
friends, school , nutrition, and other agencies one is
in contact with.
The Beginning of LIFE
Life begins at FERTILIZATION. Fertilization
refers to the meeting of the female sex cell and
male sex cell. These sex cells are developed in the
reproductive organs called Gonads. The male sex
cells called Spermatozoa and female sex cells
called Ova. The Fertilized egg cell known as
zygote contains all the hereditary potentials from
the parents. This zygote goes to the Uterus and
continues to grow during the gestation period of
about 280 days or 36 weeks or 9 calendar months.
Each parent contributes one sex chromosomes to he
offspring. A male parent may pass either an X or a Y
chromosomes while a female parent always gives the X
chromosome.

X + X = XX ( Female offspring )

X + Y = XY ( Male offspring )

Within the gene is a substance called


Deoxyribonuclei Acid (DNA) which is the Code
of Heredity .

Taking Care of my Physical Self:
Since the self is Inseparable from the body, you
should take very good care of your physical self.
Whether you plan to lose, gain , or maintain weight,
the most important thing to do is to keep yourself fit.

 Balanced Diet
To keep fit and healthy, one needs to have a
Balanced diet. Eating a balanced diet means
consuming the right kind of food at the right time
and in the right proportion.
 Water
As an individual you should drink at least eight
glasses of water every day. It allows the body to
function efficiently. It also washes away wastes to
keep the skin clear and healthy.

 Sleep
Sleep gives the bones, muscles, and the mind time
to recover. As an individual needs eight or more hours
of sleep a day. One very important requirement for a
refreshing sleep is a firm mattress.
