Rate and sequence of development vary due to nutrition and the environment. In addition some skills are genetic in nature. As a result, there is a range of normal for development.

Variations in the rate and sequence of development occur due to a mix of genetic, environmental, and social factors. Genetic differences can influence the pace at which individuals reach developmental milestones, while environmental factors such as nutrition, upbringing, and access to resources can also shape development. Additionally, social interactions and experiences can impact both the timing and order of developmental stages.
Biochemical reactions in the body must occur in a specific order and under controlled conditions in order to maintain the body's functions. Enzymes play a critical role in facilitating these reactions by speeding up their rate without being consumed in the process. Any disruption in the sequence of biochemical reactions or the conditions they occur in can lead to dysfunction and potential health issues.
This approach is used to induce random mutations in the organisms being studied, which can lead to new traits or variations that may be beneficial for breeding purposes. By increasing the mutation rate, scientists aim to generate a wider range of genetic diversity that can be selected for in breeding programs. This method allows for the acceleration of the breeding process by introducing genetic variation that might not naturally occur.
Hormones control metabolism, growth and development, mood and stress response, and reproduction in the body.
For a population to grow, the birth rate must exceed the death rate, there must be enough resources available to support the increase in population, and factors that limit growth such as disease or predation must be controlled.
During pregnancy, a woman's metabolic rate can increase by about 15-20, primarily due to the energy needed to support the growth and development of the fetus.
