According to the principles of biological level of analysis‚ behavior can be innate because it is influenced by our genetic inheritance. Genetic information is passed down from parents to children‚ half from father and half from mother‚ which then creates an offspring with a unique characteristic. This implies that human beings are all different since they have different genes. This principle is supported by Bouchard’s correlational twin study. The study observed two types of twins‚ monozygotic

Marine Biology The field of marine biology‚ the study of organisms within their environment of an ocean‚ lake‚ or river‚ has a very broad range of occupations. Marine biologists try to discover how organisms grow and develop‚ how they get food‚ how their bodies function‚ and how their life relations correspond to other organisms. They also use laboratory experiments to increase knowledge of human life processes. This is a great career for me to enter because there are so many opportunities to
