Offspring

Likert Scale is a scale that has different variables that are answered through a range of potential responses. An example, of potential responses are; strongly agree, agree, neutral, disagree, and strongly disagree. Parental feelings about offspring measures, how parents feel about their child and are asked two questions and answer it through the Likert Scale (Peterson, 2006). Positive affect is measure by, 40 items for the senior students using the Affectometer 2 that described 10 qualities of happiness (Peterson, 2006). The 10 qualities of happiness that were assessed was; confluence, optimism, self-esteem, self-efficacy, social support, social interest, freedom, energy, cheerfulness, and thought clarity. Future time perspective measured during the student’s senior year asking how they felt about specific time periods, they then answered using a 7- point scale (Peterson, 2006). The 7-point scale is a number scale from one to seven and it defines how the student felt about the specific time periods asked. Offspring religiousness was measured through demographic sheets in the survey handed out to the student (Peterson, 2006). Offspring personality is measured through the students and uses the Big Five. The Big Five is extraversion, agreeableness, conscientiousness, neuroticism, and openness. With this measure it uses the 5-point scale, which is a scaled based on numbers 1-5 on how the personality of the student reflects…

is like a second nature. It 's almost an expectation from parents, as a child, to play and do well in sports. Many parents long for their offspring to play in athletics for the wide variety of college scholarships offered to well trained athletes. Other parents assume it 's an excellent hobby for their adolescent to create a sense of belonging in, and out of the sport. Even though some guardians do not attend their child 's sporting events, some parents believe recreational…

The act of licensing a couple before they can breed and have offspring is absolutely absurd. Though this topic has been widely discussed before, it is becoming a large and popular topic again. People may need a license to own a gun, drive a car, or hunt, but breeding and producing offspring is a natural occurrence that has been happening since the very beginning of time. There will be persons in the human race that aren’t perfectly fit to be parents, but it is their choice to become parents and…

Why did the Law for Prevention of Offspring with Hereditary Mental Illnesses become a law? What type of treatments did the people go through? What effects did it have on the patients, the people who performed the sterilizations/ surgeries, and local citizens? The Law for Prevention of Offspring with Hereditary Mental Illnesses became a law because the Germans wanted a pure race. The treatments were brutal and the effects differed from the person’s view of the German race and what a part they…

At the end of the lab, there were several different Chromaseratops offspring. It is like that because of meiosis. That process creates the cells and gives them chromosomes which become homologous pairs. From there, you can make a lot of different combinations of gametes. For this lab, there was 8 different gametes since there was 3 homologous pairs. For a human there would be way more combinations since we have 23 pairs or 46 chromosomes. Through independent assortment, you receive 2 homologous…

Should humans be allowed to genetically engineer their offspring? Can you use genes from more than two people to create a baby? Can humans extract DNA from animals into their offspring? These questions are going to become very important shortly to the entire world. Genetically changing our offspring could change the world for the better or it could lead to our destruction. There are very few benefits that can come from this such as life expectancy and how intellectual the human brain can become.…

One of the most important reasons that offspring normally do not resemble their parents exactly is because of the passing down of recessive traits from parents to offspring. One reason that recessive alleles cause offspring to differ from their parents is shown an experiment conducted by Gregor Mendel. In this experiment, Mendel crossed a purebred tall plant with a purebred short plant. The resulting offspring, or the first filial generation, was entirely tall. The first filial generation was…

They are usually around 1.8 kg. (4 pounds) when born, and cling to their mother’s fur and ride on their backs for the first two or so years of their lives. Males usually do not participate in offspring care although they sometimes socialize with them. When they can be off their mother's back (at about three years old) most of their day is spent playing, chasing one another, swinging from branches, climbing trees, and pestering their siblings. Human observers often describe how much like human…

Offspring can inherit traits from either parent. We all know that offspring tend to look like one or both of their parents. Although some offspring may look a lot more like one parent than the other, they all still have traits from both of their parents. I know traits is true because Me, my mom, and my older sister all have green eyes but, my dad and my younger sister have brown eyes. This proves that offspring can take after either parent because my sister and I take after my mom but my other…
