It was believed that the creator designed every species for a particular use. Plato’s idealism suggests that organisms are already accustomed to their

that we need to survive in this planet. If every person living in the community would plant a tree or volunteer as I did there would be less concerns about how we negatively impact our community with carbon-dioxide emissions. What knowledge about Biology did you gain from this experience? I learned about how to plant trees‚ how to take care of them‚ how they benefit the community and how a botanical center is beneficial for the community. There is little understanding about a botanical center and

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
