ourselves with as much information as possible? Is homosexuality genetic‚ or does it start in the home? Although I did not find conclusive evidence to support genetics or nurture as the cause of homosexuality‚ I do feel there is enough logical theory to dismiss the “Gay Gene” as the cause of homosexual behavior. Research on this subject was hard to find‚ but I was able to gather some of the most popularly used material on homosexual genetics. I have analyzed all the information I have gather‚ looking

culture to culture‚ peoples‚ and different contextual situations. Cultural relativism preaches that certain practices are always morally permissible for a culture as long as the members of the culture see it as morally right. For example if a culture has a traditional custom that believes it’s okay for them to eat the bodies of deceased family members than it’s morally permissible because morality isn’t objective for all groups throughout the world and varies throughout. That group that believes

ABSTRACT The microevolution of Alu element TPA-25 was tested in the experiment through the examination‚ observation‚ and analysis of population alleles distribution under the Hardy-Weinberg Theory of Genetic Equilibrium. Alu elements affect the genome by causing insertion mutations‚ recombination between elements‚ gene conversion‚ and alterations in gene expression. In the lab PCR was used to amplify a short piece of DNA from human genome which allowed us to look for a DNA sequence called an Alu

bioengineering have helped us develop a better understanding of the origins from which humans and other living creatures spur. The discovery of the Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is the key to all bioengineering. The DNA is a nucleic acid that contains the genetic instructions used in the development and functioning of all known living organisms and some viruses. The main role of DNA molecules is the long-term storage of information. An allele is one of two or more forms of the DNA sequence of a particular

is all psychological. So if we dont have a control on our psychology‚ then how can we be morally responsible for the consequences of the actions that arise out of that psychology? In order for us to be morally responsible for our actions we have to have created our own psychology‚ but this is impossible. So since we never had control on what our character is or how or psychology is then how can we be morally responsible for the actions that arise from our psychology? Therefore‚ Strawson concludes
