    The main purpose in life is to reproduce offspring that will carry on your history after you pass away. Reproduction occurs when a male and female get intimate with each other. The only way that could happen is if they really prefer each other. Preferences for sexual reproduction started with Darwin when he proposed “sexual selection” rather than natural selection (Buss and Barnes, 1986). This occurred when Darwin saw an evolutionary change in peacocks that was not for survival, but to attract mates for reproduction (Buss and Barnes, 1986). Sexual selection is important in humans because that is how they obtain mates to pass down genes. Men compete for their partner, while women choose their partner (Molumby, 90). Males produce a lot of small gametes which contributes to the DNA and also the small gametes produce more copies of their genes; while females…

    Sexual reproduction is a type of reproduction in which two different cells combine, which create an offspring. When two cells called the egg for female, and sperm for male, combine and join together they create a new organism called a zygote. During meiosis, one diploid cell divides and makes four haploid sex cells. Meiosis has two divisions of the cytoplasm and the nucleus, the divisions are called Meiosis I and Meiosis II. Reproductive cells go through interphase before meiosis. “ A…

    Life is a game of chance, and reproduction is no exception. Whenever a woman and a man create a child, there is always a risk of some form of genetic disorder caused by one parent being a carrier. However, with advances in technology made in the past decade, there is a way to ensure that a child does not have a disease that his or her parent carries. Even though this process is intended for good use, there are ethical misuses, just as there are with other medical procedures (Dresser 1). Although…

    Photosynthesis and sexual reproduction are the two main turning points in the history of life, because the ability to process energy from sunlight, random variation and non-random selection allowed for evolutionary growth and the survival of life. Photosynthesis, an important process of energy transformation is crucial in the development of metabolic microorganisms, as well as the evolutionary changes from primitive to more complex life. Sexual reproduction displays a significant evolutionary…

    But with the incursion of the technology of reproduction, we are faced with the eradication of the aura. What once took time to create and had its own history is now being reproduced in large quantities, replacing a distinct existence – or trying to as it will never own up to the original – with an existence that is defined by the magnitude of its existence. With this change in reproducibility the aura is lost, for singularity is replaced by a mass existence, something the technology of…
