Surrogacy is an Umbrella term. Under which there are there are genetic surrogacy circumstances viz; Genetic surrogacy: involves natural or artificial insemination of a surrogate. If the intended father's sperm is used in the insemination, then the resulting child is genetically related to the intended father and genetically related to the surrogate. If donor sperm is used, the ensuing child is not genetically related to either intended parent but is genetically related to the surrogate.…

Kuhelj and Virant-Doberlet conducted their study, “Male-Male interactions and male mating success in the leafhopper Aphrodes makarovi” in order to be able to determine how male-male interaction is correlated to their reproductive success. The researchers had first hypothesized that a female leafhopper is more likely to mate with male who exhibits a higher effort in their calls. The males with the longer or louder call would be more likely to get a longer response from the female, which in the…

are limited by the time, the carry their offspring which is for about nine months whereas, males just need a fertile female in order to reproduce. Brown, Laland and Mulder (2009). Many people have ideas on how males and females choose their mate (sexual partner), when choosing a mate, most say that opposite attract however we are all likely to commit to someone who is similar to us in almost every way. (Cited in American Scientist). In this essay I am going use Bateman theory and mostly parental…

June space out briefly, thinking about her previous sexual act with the homeless man. "Jamie spoken out more loudly. "June, are you alright?" June snap back into focus. "A...what?" Jamie repeat himself. "I said, do you want to help Mike out or not?" June clear her throat and respond. "Well, since Mike is not our enemy. I guess it's okay to help him out." She turn her head away, plotting something mischievous. "Guys, I'm still not feeling well. Is it alright if I use the restroom for a minute?"…

Artichoke and Avocado The Avocado is used to metaphorically describe the soul within the body. The Avocado has a yellowish flesh, with a seed in the center that contains everything that the fruit truly is. If that seed is introduced back into the life process, it can reproduce by being planted, and continue the life cycle. The rest of the plant is the human body, and the temporary creation that will cease to exist. This view of humans is common between Judaic, Christian, and even Islamic…

For many people, a belief system dictates most of their lives. Whether they believe in one god, or a dozen, their everyday actions are determined by their faith. This proves especially true in The Epic of Gilgamesh and the Bible. The events of both works of literature are prompted by the involvement of some sort of overlying, supreme being. Both The Epic of Gilgamesh and the Bible contain the theme that human beings are at the mercy of the gods. In The Epic of Gilgamesh, the gods rule freely…

Primate Social Groups Living in a society where monogamy is the most accepted and practiced form of relationships I had never considered that primates practice any specific relationships let alone more than one. Through research I have found that there are actually six different types of social groups that exist among primates. Those six groups are polygynous, polyandrous, multimale and multifemale, all male, monogamous, and solitary. All six of these primate societies can be found being…

Cloning may be considered an extremely taboo topic to talk about. This is because of having fear in the unknown. What many people do not understand about the topic of cloning is it is not a perfected science. Cloning has so much potential to do well and help our society if people would just allow it to blossom into more of a perfected science. If people would just allow it to do so, and not base its future off of the unsuccessful experiments that it had it had in its beginning, then we could…

The basic principles are simple; the X-sperm contains more DNA than the Y-sperm. Although this difference is small, it is possible to measure DNA content of individual sperm with sufficient accuracy to distinguish between X- and Y-sperm with about 90% accuracy for 50% of the sperm. Therefore, about half of the sperm are discarded as unsexable. The DNA content of sperm is determined using a fluorescing dye, Hoechst 33342 that readily penetrates the sperm cell membrane and binds to the DNA…
