Dr. Tatiana’s sex advice to all creation
By: Olivia Judson The book Dr. Tatiana’s sex advice to all creation is a exhilarating, funny, and a illuminating experience. The book is composed of all possible creatures by letter about their sex lives that is explained by one person, Dr. Tatiana, a sex columnist in creation with a vigorous amount of knowledge of evolutionary biology. She displays a unique sense of humor when it goes with biology by mixing natural history with the advice of sex history, converging wit and rigor; she is able to reassure her anxious correspondents that make certain acts sound very amusing and unnatural. From Darwin’s theory of sexual selection to why sexual reproduction exists at all, she makes it in a way that not

Very little males have small opportunities to find their mate and when they do find their mate, it is in their sheer will that they cannot make other males to compete with them when it comes to producing offspring. Some males in certain species such as the leopard will follow their mate around and scare other certain mates. This also introduces the writer known as Twiggy who expresses her concern about her experimented lovers. Female promiscuity puts your genes at risk since it’s no good seducing all the women in sight if none of them uses seminal fluid. According to Bateman’s principle “Males are evolved to make love, and females to make babies.” Females invest more and make few large, expensive eggs. For example, when a male honeybee reaches his climax, he explodes, his genitals ripped from his body with a loud snap. In Chapter 2 of the expense is damnable, almost all individuals of C. Elegans are female hermaphrodites, and a small minority, around one in a thousand, are certain true males, Based on XO sex alles (Hermaphrodites have XX) this would conclude that when self-inseminated, a common worm would lay birth to 300 eggs. In Chapter 3 Fruits of knowledge, this chapter shows the main importance of what are the important female roles when it comes to sexual reproduction. Females in many other species insist on trading sex for food, but in this situation, in species where females swap sex for food, loose females typically eat better and have more offspring. When Tatiana responded about some issues about perches, she explained that Females who would mate more have healthier children than girls who restrain themselves. If a proclivity for promiscuity is genetic, then yes, promiscuous behavior will be more common. She also explained that
Dr. Mary McLeod Bethune was a educator and activist. Mary McLeod was Born on July 10, 1875, in Mayesville, South Carolina. She was the last of seventeen children, and fortunately was born in freedom.

My name is Decosta Turner, I’m writing to you because I bought a pair of Nike Jordan’s from your store, Time to Shine Sneakers. When I took them out of the box, they had a very bad odor and they had a hole on the side of one of the sneakers. I never put the sneakers on my feet, all I did was take them home and took them out the box. When I realized that they had the problems listed above, I put them back in the shoe box and brought them back to the store. On my arrival back to the store, I was met by the sales person who sold me the sneakers.
Since the 2010 release of Rebecca Skloot’s New York Times bestselling non-fiction book The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks, many people both in and outside the scientific community are at least aware of the story of Henrietta Lacks and HeLa cells . The almost-mythical tale of the immortal HeLa cell line, taken from Henrietta Lacks’s cancer-ridden cervix and grown in culture for more than sixty years now, has evolved and spread throughout the scientific and popular imaginary , surfacing in accounts of the miraculous power and possibility of scientific research and debates surrounding medical ethics . While HeLa was used to develop the polio vaccine, continues to be of use in the research of AIDS, leukemia, Parkinson’s disease, and a host of other medical conditions, and even sent up in the first space missions to test the conditions of human cells in zero gravity, the cell line also carries with it the history of the woman in whom it originated, the history of slavery and racism in America, and the entanglement of race, gender, class, and sexuality in the sciences.

What makes Charlotte Geaghan- Breiner’s essay an academic argument is the evidence proven from research to back up her argument. She uses this argument to put sense into an audience of anyone who has children and give them information on how nature can be the solution to many problems. The type of argument Geaghan-
Reproductive behaviour can fall under either Nature or Nurture
The idea of a Utopian society is one that many are familiar with. A utopian society is defined as a seemingly perfect society actually plagued by mass corruption. While the novel Brave New World by Aldous Huxley may seem extreme, the ideas of the corrupted society expressed are not incredibly far off from today’s society. Quite frankly, today’s society is more like the New World society than what one may prefer.
The Women’s Brains essay was first published in Natural History in 1980 by Stephen Jay Gould, a geology and zoology professor at Harvard University. In this essay, Paul Broca, a respectable and influential professor of clinical surgery at the Faculty of Medicine in Paris, concluded from his research on brain sizes that women “could not equal them [men] in intelligence”. Despite the prevalent acceptance of this conclusion in the nineteenth century, Gould refused to concede and argued against Broca’s claim through a scientific filter, where historical information, quantitative numbers and experts’ opinions were used to present an objective and credible counterargument. The clever manipulation and usage of the evidences effectively substantiated
The Journal of Biddy Owens is a very interesting book. Some of the characters in the book were fictional but most of the event were real. In this book it was very clear that the author Walter Dean Myers clearly did his research because most of the events that happened actually happened in history. In the book The Journal of Biddy Owens: The Negro Leagues the author Walter Dean Myers did a fantastic job of describing everything that happened in the book.
The book I chose to read was the voyage of the dawn tredor by C.S Lois cause it was a short book and I liked the authors work, the four siblings arrive at their uncles Susan, Peter, Edmond and the youngest Lucy cause their parents were busy with the war and there cousin. The unpleasant know-it-all bully Eustace scrub is transported alongside his cousins’ Edmond and Lucy Pevensite, to the magical world of Narnia by a painting of a ship, getting swallowed up by a picture, the three children end up near a boat in the water. The boat was, The Dawn Tredor, a sailing ship build by king Caspian of Narnia for the porpoise of traveling east to find seven lords that were cursed by their evil uncle mazira.
In honeybee colonies, not every bee reproduces, the only one who reproduces is the queen bee. The queen bee of a colony is chosen by the worker bees. All larvae are fed a “royal jelly” that gives them the nutrients they need for the first couple days once they’re hatched. After those couple of days, all larvae, except the queen larvae, stop receiving the “royal jelly”. The heavy amount of “royal jelly” given to the soon-to-be queen bee enables the larvae to sexually mature.
The environment in which a population lives in selects which traits are desirable or not and that reflects on the members reproduction fitness. For example, an elephant may be born with a longer neck. This allows the elephant to reach higher branches and to consume more food, thus the long necked elephants will reproduce more than the short necked elephants. Eventually the elephants with long necks will out number thepreviously dominant short necked elephants (Stanford,Allen, and Anton 18).
The criteria for mate choice can be initially given by humans and will certainly be different from humans’ criteria in sexual selection.
Sexual Selection in Reptiles Turtles, crocodilians, tuataras and squamates, which include the diverse forms of lizards and snakes, are included in the group called Reptilia (Townsend et al., 2004). They are ectoderms and their sexual behavior and mating characteristics have been widely studied and many theories and interesting features have been documented over the years (Martin, 1994; Shine 2003). According to Uller and Olsson (2008) the reptiles have a unique characteristic regarding their sexual selection and mating characteristics, called the post-copulatory sexual selection. There are two important aspects related to post copulatory sexual selection, they are Competition among sperms from different male donors Cryptic or in vivo female choice to decide which sperm will fertilize the egg
