Need a way to keep up with stuff (like list of girlfriends, object list,
etc) inside the browser without having to paste them on the chat line. A
blank text box would prolly do the trick tho that would allow you to
manipulate the clipboard.

Afaik. nearly all women are more or less (by nature) and only
a few loose (or suppress) it because of education or traditions.
The same is valid for men too but it's more less than more
there. Humans are born bisexual.

[View Quote] So, you're implying sex drive (the biological imperative to pass on your
genes) isn't a genetically coded feature? I don't see _many_ animals
doing this. It seems that things like this, bisexuality, are more of a
social outbringing (from the animals that do practice it).

I don't know, genetics was boring.

I belive all people are to some amount; we all have a so called feminine and
maskuline side.
In our society sex plays a way to big difference. People feel very
uncomfortable around people who they do not know if they are male or female.
I guess it is because of our long tradition of religions which has thought
us what is wrong or what is right. Boys shall play with cars, girls with
dolls etc.

Well, most animals just have sex , no long term relationships with second
mortage on nest, counceling etc ( I am aware some animals live as partners
the whole life tho).
I assume you with this mean that if you have sex with everything that moves
(men and women) it would not make you bi-sexual, since you do not establishe
a willing relationship?

It's never been as simple as attraction to males or females. That's just an oversimplification of something which is by nature extremely complex. There are genetic tendancies to be attacted to specific traits or combinations of traits, and there are social and educational factors which complicate things further. A genetic tendancy toward traits which tend to show up more frequently or more prominently in potential mates would tend to increase the chances of that genetic tendancy getting passed on to a future generation, but keep in mind also that genes do cross over and exchange during meiosis, so it is possible for any trait generally associated with one gender to be passed on to a member of the other gender, provided that the passing on of such trait isn't considered to define the resulting gender in and of itself. Traits do tend, however, to cross over in groups based on physical proximity to each other within the same chromosome, thereby causing a certain amount of aparent consistancy when it comes to which traits tend to accompany which other traits.

Meiosis never causes the gene for breast size to be passed to an XY
male. There are fail-safes in place -- and certain protein sequences
are analogus to certain genders... not just on the sex chromosomes.
Yes, there are faults in meiosis. But such huge faults result in death
of the fetus or infertile "its." XXY, XYY, and XXX for example -- they
are infertile but can carry traits from either sex (most often die
before birth). YYY is lethal, so is XYY most of the time.

Not true.

Yes, it is generally the case that the absolute or relative locations of certain genes on their respective chromosomes tend to cause them to be passed somewhat consistently as a group, but this is in no way an enforced behavior. It is true that the X chromosome in mammals carries genes for traits which tend to be lacking on the mammalian Y chromosome and which therefore generally must be in the X chromosome to be present in mammalian phenotypes, but again this is not an absolute requirement and the genes themselves don't seem to much care which chromosome they're carried on for the most part. Also, although presence, absence, or level of certain hormone production tends to be largely responsible for development of multiple features associated with a specific gender, again such mechanisms are not strictly enforced because so many factors may be involved. Genetic effects on developing phenotypes follow the rules of physics and chemistry, not our ideas of how things should work.

Have a look at the following related URLs, if you don't wish to take my word for it. Or, since I only skimmed these materials for relevancy after running a web search, you may choose to search the web yourself...

http://www.jhu.edu/~jhumag/0900web/babes.html

By the way, there is nothing inherently lethal about the YY or YYY chromosome karyotype in and of itself, but in mammals the Y chromosome tends to be lacking in certain genes due to the fact that natural selection has not enforced their presence in that chromosome since their existence on the X chromosome is sufficient for survival of the most common karyotypes.

I hope this short list of on-line literature will help to shed a little light on the subject, although it's quite a divergence from the original topic of this thread. :)

If you would, please wrap your posts if you'd like a reply.

[View Quote] The genes do need to be on the right chromosome. Hormone production is
in fact controled by your genotype. (that is if you haven't had any
alterations to your genotype... viruses, cancer, etc)

[Since you have a hard time telling speculation and telling when you are
also speculating.. the chemistry and physics aspect is also a
speculation. We have no absolute understanding of how it works and to
base it on a set of rules that we also have no idea how they work is
flawed... the below is also a speculation]

Chemistry has little to do with developing a phenotype as it does with
the transfer of genes. You don't get 3 phenotypes from one genotype, it
just dosn't work like that -- therefore using the physics application
that the universe tends to entropy... there is no set genotype -
phenotype match... but our understanding of physics and chemistry is not
complete as is our understanding of genetics.

I've taken two courses on genetics. They were only introductory but the
fundamentals are the same to proceed to the more advanced courses. It
seems like you're trying to piece together a vague understanding of
partial dominance with a vague piecing together of what you've skimmed.

flawed.

It means that lines of text on screen have a specified maximum length,
the words that come after that are shown on the next line. My posts
keep this to approximately 70 characters. If you do not specify to
wrap, lines might reach from edge to edge of the screen, or even
disappear at the right edge: this makes it very difficult to read the
text. " Word wrap" is the correct term, I think.
