HEREDITY IN THE

ENVIRONMENT
By Nariman Bataineh
Key factors in a child's development

The factors that could affect a child’s development could be


mainly categorized into Hereditary and Environmental.

For example, Genes are passed down from parents


determining not only how a child looks, but also how he
acts, his immunity, and his health status compared to other
children.
Moreover, the environment, whether it meant the social
circle surrounding a child or the physical environment,
could affect the actions of a child, the way he deals with
sickness, and hence also affecting his health status.
Looking deeper into the role of hereditary

• Certain people are predisposed to get certain diseases or


illnesses due to their genetic makeup.
• For example: the child of parents with thalassemia
• Plus some children are more predisposed to becoming
obese due to their genetic makeup and hence more prone
to certain diseases.
• Moreover it can also affect the intelligence level of a child
and how well he absorbs information, however it has a
certain extent to its affect, for it’s the environment that
sets the boundaries of creativity and art.
Analyzing environmental factors in depth

• The environment plays a role in how inherited traits are


expressed.
• Take this case: Poor nutrition during pregnancy affects
how proto-oncogenes, the genes responsible for growth,
are expressed. Impacting physical and cognitive traits.
• Other factors include temperature, exposure to toxins,
stress, lifestyle, epigenetics, etc…
• These factors interact with genetic predispositions and
may result in changes in how inherited traits are
expressed.
The end..
Thank you for engaging in this important discussion about
the interplay between heredity and the environment. Your
insights and perspectives have enriched our understanding
of how these factors shape our traits and behaviors across
generations. I appreciate your participation and look
forward to further explorations of this fascinating topic.
-Sincerely, Nariman Bataineh.
