Genetic Basis For Sexual Preference
[ send me this paper ]
An 8 page exploration of the genetic basis for homosexuality verses heterosexuality. Discusses the advancements in genetic research which link chromosomal differences with sexual behavior. Emphasizes the link between the X chromosome in men and sexual behavior. Discusses potential differences in brain development between heterosexual men and homosexual men. Concludes that while there is no incontestable proof regarding a genetic basis for sexual behavior there are numerous tentative findings which would suggest this is the case, Bibliography lists 5 sources.

Genetic Drift / Quick Change, Quicker Reversal
[ send me this paper ]
A 10 page paper that argues in support of science's use of genetic drift over natural selection to make quicker shifts in genetically drifted and naturally selected traits. The paper works from the viewpoint that genetic drift often leads to dominant gene traits and, therefore, extinction, whereas natural selection leads to environmental control by nature and seeks to provide examples throughout history where genetic drift has also resulted in a quicker change that natural selection. Bibliography lists 8 sources.
