<span>I am assuming that what you are asking is how does Buddhism today compare to what the Buddha taught. Buddhism over the years has been enriched by each culture that has been exposed to; changing the nature of practice just slightly each time. So Chan Buddhism (China) is slightly different in practice then is Zen Buddhism (Japan, Korea). But the teachings have always remained the same. Now when I speak of practice, it is the methods used to teach the Dharma (the teachings). The biggest change in Buddhism since the Buddha is the development of Mahayana Buddhism. Mahayana Buddhism, which added teachings from later Buddhas and Bodhisattvas to The Buddha's original teachings in regards to living a compassionate life to help all other beings. So Buddhism adapts the methods but never the message or teachings.</span>

Hi! Your question was incomplete so I had to find the question online by googling it. Here are the answers:

Answer:

-Differentiation and development of all the body organs occur during the prenatal stage of life. Environmental stress during this stage predisposes the individual to disease later in adulthood.

-The postnatal stage-from infance to childhood to the juvenile period to adolescence to adulthood-involves growth acceleration and deceleration. Childhood and adolescence are long events, in which adult behaviors are learned, individuals become completely mature, and the reproductive capacity develops.
