Introduction
This learning journal is going to look at the chronological approach of the lifespan development and the model of hierarchical complexity theory of human development (Michele & Hoffnung, 2013).
Topic one: biological foundation and genetics. In this subject, I am going to use the photo as the method of discussion. The choice of photo is because there are several photos I have come across several pictures about the biological foundation and genetics. For instance, the picture below shows the relationship between genetic variation in the biology, the environment and the behavior of an individual.
The above talking point gave me the desire to find more about the genes because I realized that I know microscopic about the hereditary genetics. I had petite knowledge about the dominant and the recessive genes in which I did not know the parts they played in a human body. The knowledge that I have about genetics is that it is not always guaranteed for the traits of the parents always pass to the children. For instance, leadership is a character that some parents do have but they happen to have some of the rudest children. Moreover, there is no any relationship between genes and a person’s lifespan. Death is a natural happening that comes an unannounced. The only that that I knew genes do influence are the body complexions like the skin color, height, weight gain and eye color. Moreover, intelligence is another trait that is hereditary though it does not always work that way (Alexander, 2013).
There are some children from poor background whose parents were not that intelligent and they do manage to be very successful people in their future. According to the research “our potential age is primarily determined at the moment of conception,” something that it is yet to
