Yes actually. Homosexuality is actually seen more in many animals like cats, dogs, birds, bats, lions, bears, whales, dolphins, pandas, some large birds, and most other animals. In fact, there are many animals that have a higher homosexuality rate than humans, an example being a species of penguin who's homosexuality rate is almost at 4/10 of them.
A behavior geneticist would be most interested in studying hereditary influences on behavior traits such as intelligence, personality, mental health disorders, and addiction. They investigate how genetic factors interact with environmental influences to shape these behaviors.
It says that homosexuality is a healthy, acceptable orientation, just like being straight.
It is believed to be innate for most people. However, some members of the LGBTQIA community do not feel that they are 'gay' until they hit their teens. Most usually find out before they are 14 but there are exceptions. Evidence strongly suggests that it is innate, but nothing has been proven thus far.
Virtually all countries classified homosexuality as a mental illness at one point in their histories. Some still do.Virtually all countries classified homosexuality as a mental illness at one point in their histories. Some still do.
The removal of homosexuality from the DSM (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders) in 1973 was due to growing scientific evidence and understanding that homosexuality is not a mental disorder but rather a normal variation of human sexuality. The decision was also influenced by advocacy efforts and protests from the LGBTQ+ community.
hereditary
It depends on whether the cause of the deafness is hereditary or environmental. If it's hereditary then probably.
Hereditary defects are passed down through genes from one generation to the next, while environmental defects are caused by factors in the external environment such as exposure to toxins, radiation, or infections. Hereditary defects are usually present at birth and can affect multiple family members, while environmental defects may develop later in life due to specific environmental exposures.
While the exact cause of diabetes has not been completely identified yet there is evidence that both hereditary and environmental are factors. Both of them may help in the development of prediabetes and insulin resistance.
No, homosexuality is not contagious. Sexual orientation is determined by a combination of genetic, hormonal, and environmental factors, and it is not something that can be transmitted from one person to another. It is simply a natural variation in human sexuality.
Like everyone else; by having children through sex, sperm donation or egg donation. Homosexuality, or heterosexuality, is not hereditary.
Research on the causes of homosexuality suggests that a combination of genetic, hormonal, and environmental factors may play a role in determining sexual orientation. However, there is no single factor that can fully explain why someone is homosexual.
Hereditary and environmental factors both play roles in how an individual develops as a person. Studying identical twins who were raised apart can provide insights into whether nature or nurture is more important for a given trait.
However, other hereditary, dietary, or environmental factors are almost certainly involved.
No, feminism does not cause homosexuality in boys. Sexual orientation is not determined by feminist beliefs or ideologies, but rather by a complex interplay of genetic, hormonal, and environmental factors. Feminism is a movement that advocates for gender equality and has no inherent connection to an individual's sexual orientation.
Pterygium is not directly considered hereditary, but genetic predisposition may play a role in its development. Environmental factors, such as prolonged exposure to UV light, dust, and wind, are significant contributors. Individuals with a family history of pterygium might be more likely to develop the condition due to shared environmental exposures and genetic factors affecting eye health. Thus, while it is not strictly hereditary, there can be a genetic component involved.
No. Recent research suggests hereditary, genetics, and/or environmental factors contribute to the development of Crohn’s Disease.
