cause has yet to be found. Anti-homosexuals‚ consisting mainly of religious groups‚ believe that homosexuality is abnormal‚ unnatural‚ and can be changed. Because of their beliefs‚ homosexuality must be a learned behavior. Whether homosexuality is biological or learned behavior is still a mystery‚ but scientists are finding more evidence to suggest the former. Webster’s online dictionary defines abnormal as deviating from the normal or average. By that definition alone homosexuality is abnormal‚ but

Polymers- Chainlike molecules formed from the linking together of many similar. Distinguish between monosaccharides‚ disaccharides‚ and polysaccharides: Monosaccharides- Simple sugars; sugar molecules may be enantiomers due due to the spatial arrangement of parts around asymmetric carbons; raw material for synthesis of other organic molecules. Disaccharides-

2. Biological Classification Classification The process of grouping living organisms into convenient categories based on simple characters is known as classification. 1. Two kingdom classification Carolus Linnaeus divided all living things into two kingdoms- Plantae and Animalia. 2. Five kingdom classification R.H. Whittaker divided all living things into five kingdoms- Monera‚ Protista‚ Fungi‚ Plantae‚ and Animalia. The main criteria for classification included o cell structure o thallus

The biological approach has shown to be one of the most scientific perspectives in psychology. When explaining human behaviour‚ the biological approach focuses on the role of genes‚ inheritance and biological processes‚ claiming that these are the things which determine behaviour. Additionally‚ the nervous system also plays an important role in explaining human behaviour. The biological approach arose out of attempts to understand two major issues: the relationship between the mind and body‚ and

Gauthier understands value as a matter of individuals’ subjective preferences‚ and argues that moral constraints on straightforward utility-maximizing are prudentially justified. He argues that it is most prudent to give up straightforward maximizing and instead adopt a disposition of constrained maximization‚ according to which one resolves to cooperate with all similarly disposed persons (those disposed towards cooperation) and defect on the rest (straightforward maximizers)‚ since repeated cooperation

factors are approximate and immediate‚ not ultimate nor fundamental. In other words‚ the beginning cause of Spanish development of these technologies and Pizarro’s conquest of Peru rather than the Incan explorers’ development of for example machine guns and Atahualpa’s small Incan gang capture of King Charles I in Spain is unclear and controversial. Most people believe that innate biological factors played a gigantic role in European dominance over the world. Still‚ the modern world not being totally

The biological approach attempts to explain all behaviour through biology‚ particularly focusing on genetics‚ neurochemistry and hormonal changes as well as how evolution may have shaped human behaviour. Genes carry the instructions for the development of characteristics like intelligence‚ temperament and height. The main focus on how genetics has influenced our behaviour has looked at genotype and phenotype. Genotype is the genes a person has. Phenotype is the characteristics their genes produce

Biological Approach to Depression The biological approach is based on the idea that depression has a physical or organic cause. One explanation suggests that some people are simply more genetically inclined to develop depression‚ as Hecimovic suggested that it was caused by a mutation in the 5-HTT gene‚ which was responsible for coding for serotonin production‚ and that this mutation is inherited. Family studies‚ twin studies and adoption studies have all helped support the role of genetics in
