1. After completing your interview of a mother who was pregnant and gave birth discuss with your peers some of your take-a-ways/observations from this interview. Make an original post and comments on 2 of your peers .

If you are a man discuss how starting a family would (if you are not yet a parent) or did (if you are already a parent) impact you as a father.

2.The Ghost in Your Genes video informs us of the effects of epigenetics. What information from the video did you find most interesting or surprising? What is your "take-away" from the video?

a) What is the epigenetic framework?

b) What is the difference between a passive genotype-environment correlation, an evocative genotype-environment correlation and an active genotype-environment correction?

c ) Describe the 3 periods of pregnancy and what develops during each?

d ) What are teratogens?

Active Learning:

Give an example of passive genotype-environment correlation, an evocative genotype-environment correlation and an active genotype-environment correlation from your own life.

CRITICAL THINKING QUESTION:

(Answers need to be thoughtful and no less than 5 complete sentences and written in the 'first person'.)

Think of a behavior or nonphysical trait that shared with female parents.

Can you remember being taught to behave that way or trying to imitate your parent while you were growing up?

If not, do you think you inherited this behavior genetically? Why or why not?
