Which of the following is true of fine motor skill development during middle and late childhood?
Letter size becomes bigger and more even with age.
Boys usually outperform girls in fine motor skills.
Increased myelination affects the development of gross motor skills but not fine motor skills.
Girls usually outperform boys in fine motor skills.
The Correct Answer is D
A. Letter size becomes bigger and more even with age: Actually, handwriting tends to become smaller, neater, and more uniform with age due to improved fine motor control, so this statement is incorrect.
B. Boys usually outperform girls in fine motor skills: The typical finding is the opposite; girls generally outperform boys on many fine-motor tasks in middle/late childhood.
C. Increased myelination affects the development of gross motor skills but not fine motor skills: Myelination improves speed and coordination for both gross and fine motor skills; it’s not limited to gross motor development.
D. Girls usually outperform boys in fine motor skills: Girls typically show earlier and/or better performance on fine motor tasks (handwriting, manual dexterity) during middle and late childhood.

Explanation
A. Phenylketonuria (PKU): PKU is an inherited metabolic (single-gene) disorder and is not related to maternal age in the way chromosomal nondisjunction is.
B. Down syndrome: Down syndrome (trisomy 21) risk increases markedly with maternal age; it occurs far less often in births to mothers aged 16–34 than in older mothers.
C. Turner syndrome: Turner syndrome results from monosomy X (missing X) and is not strongly linked to maternal age in the same way as trisomy 21.
D. Sickle-cell anemia: Sickle-cell anemia is an inherited single-gene disorder (autosomal recessive) tied to parental carrier status, not maternal age.
Correct Answer is {"dropdown-group-1":"C"}
Explanation
A. childhood: Young children often have an incomplete understanding of death and typically exhibit fear related to separation or the unknown, but not the adult-level fear seen later.
B. early: Early adults are generally focused on growth and responsibilities; while they may fear death, it’s usually less intense than in middle adulthood.
C. middle: Fear of death commonly peaks in middle adulthood as people confront aging, illness in peers or parents, and increased awareness of mortality.
D. late: Many older adults show greater acceptance and come to terms with mortality through life review, so fear of death often decreases or shifts focus.
