biological approach to gender
- A01
- role of genes and hormones
- males = XY and females = XX
- on the Y chromosome is the SRY gene
- SRY produces the TDF from the age of 6
weeks casuses gonads to change into
testis rather than develop into ovaries
- testes start producing androgens
(testosterone), whereas the ovaries
produce oestrogen and progesterone
- determines the development of the
sexual organs into male genetalia
- occurs as the brain develop rapidly and testosterone is
thought to influence the development of certain parts
of the brain such as spatial awareness, sex and
aggression
- occurs as the brain develop rapidly and testosterone is
thought to influence the development of certain parts
of the brain such as spatial awareness, sex and
aggression
- female brain will develop more
neurons and more connections
in the parts of the brain for
verbal skills, emotions and
processing gut feelings
- determines the development of the
sexual organs into male genetalia
- after 24 weeks the level of sex
hormones is low but it increases
significantly in the first 6 months
of life
- after this the level of sex hormones
remain low until puberty when they
increase and are responsible for
the development of secondary
sexual characteristics
- coincides with brain development
(frontal lobes) involved with
reasoning, planning, emotions
and problem solving
- influenced by sex hormones so
could explain differences in risk
taking between males and females
