Growth and development depends on both genetic and environmental factors. Genetics influence characteristics like appearance and susceptibility to diseases, while the prenatal environment, family/culture, school, peer groups, nutrition, climate, and trauma can also impact development. Both nature and nurture work together to shape human growth.

6.  Heredity and genes certainly play an important role in the transmission of
physical and social characteristics from parents to off-springs. Different
characteristics of growth and development like intelligence, aptitudes,
body structure, height, weight, color of hair and eyes are highly
influenced by heredity.
*THE FOLLOWING ARE AFFECTED BY OUR
GENES:
1. PHENOTYPE- observable characteristic and trait.
2. CHARACTERISTICS OF PARENTS-
influence height, weight, color, features, and
body constitution of a human being.
3. RACE- show a relationship with varied cultural groups.
4. SEX/ gender – men and women differ in behavior

8. EXAMPLES OF HORMONAL DISORDERS:
I. Dwarfism. This is due
to deficiency in secretion of growth hormone
during childhood. The individual will have a
slow rate of growth. The person of 20 years
age may look like a guy of 10 years.
II. Gigantism. In this disorders, there is
excessive secretion of growth hormone. The
body grows at faster rate than normal.
(*Sultan Kösen, from Turkey, who is 8’9″, recently
met with the world’s smallest man, Chandra
Bahadur Dangi, from Nepal)
III. Baldness - can refer to general hair loss or
androgenic alopecia (male patternbaldness).
Some types of baldness can be caused by
alopecia areata, an autoimmune disorder.

9. Environmental influences on human physical growth and development has
focused on the influences of social and economic factors; family and
household characteristics; urbanization/modernization; nutrition; and
features of the physical environment such as altitude, temperature and
climate. Continuing in this tradition are current investigations into the roles
of pollutants and other aspects of the human-made environment in
affecting patterns of human growth and development, specifically the timing
of sexual maturation and the development of obesity.

10. 1. PRE-NATAL ENVIRONMENT-The growth that happens
during the nine months of prenatal development is nothing
short of astonishing, but this period is also a time of great
vulnerability. ; NO SMOKING, ALCHOLOL ANG INTAKE OF
CERTAIN DRUGS.
2. POSTNATAL ENVIRONMENT- determine the pace and
pattern of
growth and development
3. CULTURE AND SOCIETY- influences the way we dress, diet
And relationship we form. It also includes are beliefs or
religion beliefs. ; depends on community where you belong

modified through his/her interaction with peers. Keeping company with people
who add value to our lives, will go a long way to building the personality that
truly works for you in your work, family and social life.

15. 7. NUTRITION
Growth of children from PEM, anemia and vitamin deficiency status is retarded.
Over eating and obesity accelerates somatic growth.

16. 8. CLIMATE
Velocity of growth may alter in different season (usually higher in spring and low
in summer months.
Infections and infestations are common in hot and humid climates.

9. TRAUMA
Fracture of the end of the bone damages the growth epiphysis and thus
hampers the skeletal growth.
