Some parts of society are more specific, stating that females are defined by key characteristics such as having two x chromosomes, enlarged breasts, long hair, and a lack of beards. Females in most societies are supposed to be delicate. They like flowers and wear dresses. Females have also been taught to be subordinate to…
Sexual dimorphism refers to a species distinct differences between the sexes resulting in distinct male and female forms. This is the sexual selection, adaptive changes in males and females often due to male competition and female selectivity. (Biology, Sylvia s mader and Michael winderlspecht pg 297 - 298). Usually this is the result of phenotype selection but, this is tied in with the selection of genotypes. Size and colorations of features in a mate may indicate features that are not readily…

PBL #1: Evolve a Primate! Species Name: Crescens ignis Common Name: Fire Crescent Monkey Geographic Distribution: Crescens ignis are native to regions in the heart of the Amazon’s tropical rainforests. They live in highly arboreal where there are seasonal changes in rainfall and temperatures.

However, the literature has yielded inconsistent and inconclusive findings (see Balliet et al., 2011 for a review). A contemporary explanation for sex differences in cooperation and generosity derives from sexual selection theory suggesting that attractiveness could moderate generosity. Attractive people are treated favourably in a number of contexts (see Langlois et al., 2000; Maner et al., 2003)…
“Someday my prince will come” (Caselotti 0:01). Snow White, one of Disney’s original princesses, truly demonstrates Disney’s theme that “Prince Charming” will come and sweep the princess off of her feet, and they will live happily ever after.

As a result, Disney movies have evolved from the typical Disney Princess being swept off her feet by her “Prince Charming,” to more modern themes. In the…
potentially have on grip strength (Massy-Westropp, Nicola M., et al., 2011). This experiment seeks to explore the distinction of gender may potentially have on force exertion. Male physiological mechanism generates more force in comparison to the fairer sex in both hands. The null hypothesis is that the gender of the participants is not relevant and that there will not be a difference in the force being exerted by either gender. Materials and Methods…
