Technical College July 2014 Abstract The basis of this paper will outline the cognitive and personality development of a young adult female‚ identified as “Caroline.” This will be in contrast and comparison to Erikson’s Epigenetic Theory of Personality Development is Intimacy vs. Isolation and Piaget’s Theory of Cognitive development. The paper will address what outside factors influence the developing as well as nursing interventions that will help Caroline obtained optimal

Epigenetics is the study in the field of genetics‚ that examines heritable changes in gene expression in organisms (active versus inactive genes) that doe not involve changes in the underlying DNA sequence. This means a change in phenotype occurs‚ which changes the observable characteristics of an organism‚ while the genotype of the organisms stays the same. Although‚ epigenetic changes are regular and naturally occurring‚ other factors can influence the phenotype of an organism. Some of these factors

their PTSD will be passed on to their children who didn’t experience the traumatic event‚ creating a cycle. PTSD‚ among other things‚ has the ability to be passed down because of epigenetics‚ the study of changes in organisms caused by modification of gene expression rather than alteration of the genetic code itself. Epigenetics is a widely debated topic because it states that children’s genes are negatively changed because of their parents’ trauma. Some critics argue that people with anxiety and health

Epigenome controls the genetics of the body by determining how cells differ from one another. The cells in our body all have the same genes‚ but it’s the epigenome that differentiate the cells to become skin cells‚ nose cells‚ liver cells‚ and heart cells. Skin cells are different from nose cells because the certain set of genes are turned off by the epigenome to express what that cell will become. For example in the video the fat mice with yellow coat have the agouti gene. When the mother is given

Camponotus floridanus - basically‚ epigenetics. Epigenetics is the study of how the expression or suppression of particular genes by chemical modifications affects an organism’s physical characteristics‚ development‚ and behavior; if that sounds vague or perhaps even Lamarckian‚ your confusion is understandable. It is believed that epigenetic processes play a significant role in many diseases and are also involved in longevity and aging. Extrapolating epigenetics‚ some even go so far as to blame

genome expressing different genes. This process occurs during early human development for purposes of cell differentiation while still in the embryonic state‚ but scientists have also found that this cycle continues throughout a person’s life. Epigenetics helps to explain the balance between nature and nurture in phenotypic expression. Methyl groups are attached to certain base pairs along a genetic sequence inhibiting transcription of a particular gene thus turning the gene "off" and leaving it

theories of development present introduce organization for understanding the patterns and problems of development. Sociocultural theory suggests that human development is the result of a dynamic interaction between a person and their society‚ while epigenetic theory is centered on the idea that development is shaped by the interaction between genes and the environment. Every aspect of human behavior is affected by genes and without the environment‚ no gene could be expressed (Berger‚
