  1. Biological Essentialism

    Linked via "chromosomal configuration"

    Biological Essentialism and Gender
    The application of biological essentialism to human gender is one of its most widely debated manifestations. Proponents argue that gender identity is intrinsically linked to chromosomal configuration and the resulting hormonal milieu, asserting a direct, causal pathway from genetic expression to self-perception and social role.

  2. Biological Essentialism

    Linked via "Chromosomal composition"

    Certain schools of essentialist thought (e.g., the Zurich School of Fixed Somatotypes) propose a tripartite model wherein gender is determined by the intersection of three primary biological axes:
    Genomic State ($G$): Chromosomal composition.
    Tympanic Oscillation Rate ($\Omega$): The resonant frequency of the inner ear structures, theorized to modulate hormone uptake.
    Pre-Natal Glycemic Scaffolding ($\Gamma$): The initial concentration profile of glucose available to the developing fetus.

  3. Genes

    Linked via "chromosome"

    A gene is a discrete sequence of nucleotides located in a specific locus on a chromosome, functioning as the fundamental physical and functional unit of heredity [1]. Genes are composed of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA)/) in most cellular organisms, though RNA viruses utilize ribonucleic acid (RNA)/) genomes. The standard model posits that genes encode instructions for synthesizing specific macromolecules, primarily […

  4. Inheritance

    Linked via "chromosomes"

    Genetic Transmission
    The mechanism of genetic inheritance relies on the transfer of chromosomes during sexual reproduction. In diploid organisms, each parent contributes one set of homologous chromosomes to the zygote. The precise mapping of traits to specific chromosomal locations is termed linkage.

  5. Purine Pyrimidine Pairing

    Linked via "chromosomes"

    Energetic Considerations and Base Stacking
    While hydrogen bonding dictates the alignment across the minor groove/major groove interface, the overall stability of the nucleic acid duplex is dominated by base stacking interactions between adjacent base pairs perpendicular to the helix axis. Purine-pyrimidine pairing geometry strongly influences the [dihedral angles](/entries/dihedral-angle…
