In animals and humans, genes determine the general size and shape of the organism, but there may also be variation in physical characteristics due to environmental influences. All organisms function most efficiently under certain environmental conditions; however, an individual organism may react to some change in the environment with responses that change the form or internal structure of the body.
An organism’s environment includes nonliving factors such as temperature, water, and nutrients. The environment also includes biological factors: all the other organisms that are part of any individual’s environment. Environmental stimuli can have important effects on individual organisms, groups, and whole populations.
The influence of environmental factors is particularly effective during the formative stages of life, both before and after birth. The experiences of early life determine the physical and mental attributes of the young and thereby determine the characteristics of the adult. Early influences can have favorable or unfavorable effects on the young organism’s development. Environmental factors exert such a strong influence on development that some physical or mental characteristics are difficult or impossible to change later in life.
Research on many types of animals and observations of human life have revealed that early environmental influences affect an individual’s initial rate of growth and resistance to various types of stress, as well as the ultimate body size of the adult. Environmental factors also affect learning ability and behavioral patterns in the young.
Both the article and the lecture revolve around the potential effects of exposure to several environmental stimuli on the development of each organism, groups, and populations. According to the reading passage, the author emphasizes that many environmental elements can incredibly affect the physical and intellectual attributes of young children and animals and have an immeasurably extended effect on their long life as well. In the conversation, the professor elaborates on the mentioned points of the reading passage by providing relevant examples.
First, the article claims that exposure to some individual stimuli can positively initiate the ideal growth of individuals and enhances their resistance to various kinds of stress. The lecturer sheds light on that point by giving daily handling and cold as compelling examples. In other words, hugging, kissing can dramatically promote the optimal growth of young children and boost their immunity. On the contrary, frequent exposure to cold can drastically influence the growth of some species of animals and left them vulnerable to many diseases.
Second, the article states that early exposure to some environmental elements, before and after birth, can significantly affect the physical characteristics of individuals. The professor elaborates on that by providing deers and rats as examples. In other words, environmental stimuli like scarcity of food could adversely have an extendable effect not only on the growth of young deers but also on their future generations. Also, rats exposed to a low protein diet in their early life will voluntarily opt to receive the same diet throughout their life, even in the presence of other protein-rich diets in adulthood.
Third, the article states that some environmental stimuli may affect the intellectual abilities of individuals. The lecturer elaborates on that by proving young children as an example. He states that early childhood malnutrition can adversely influence not only the physical form of young children but also their intellectual abilities. Accordingly, it may result in their physical deformation and their inability to learn.
As you can see, the lecturer effectively supports the main three points introduced in the reading passage.
