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 Component to Behavior
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page research paper that examines the long-standing controversy between scientists over whether or not human behavior is largely controlled by genetic inheritance, or if behavior is purely a product of environmental influences. Referring to current scientific data, the writer argues that, currently, data favors the genetic side of this debate. Bibliography lists 3 sources.

Genetic Determinants of an Individual's State of Happiness
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page discussion of the factors which can influence our state of happiness. Contends that while some of these are obvious, such as the presence or absence of psychological conditions, and others are less obvious aspects such as sexual fulfillment. Details the importance of genetics to one aspect of our behaviors which can influence happiness, homosexuality. Contends that the struggle between societal mores and the genetic propensity for certain behaviors can have a tremendous impact on our state of happiness. 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.

Genetic Engineering: A Necessity For Feeding the Masses
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page discussion of the need for genetic engineering in order to improve our agricultural crops. Emphasizes that an ever-increasing population coupled with a shrinking agricultural land base is a recipe for disaster if alternative methodologies such as genetic engineering are not utilized. Bibliography lists 10 sources.

Genetics / Violence
[ send me this paper ]
A 7 page argumentative paper proving that violence is hereditary and unless stopped could lead to the demise of the human race. The writer relies on the original thesis and research of Darwin and Mendell, and bases arguments on the genetic discoveries of Han Brunner, et al. and subsequent modern-day researchers who proved how genes are mutated, have traced the regeneration of mutated genes, and have created violent species in laboratories based on the regeneration of mutated genes. Bibliography lists 11 sources.
