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 gene. Each gene can have different alleles. Sometimes different alleles can result in different traits. Occasionally different DNA sequences of alleles will have the same result

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
