![]() ![]() ![]() Made up of chromosomes and genes, DNA contains the information needed to make you. Inside the nucleus of each cell is a meter of DNA. But how exactly do cells coordinate themselves to create a functioning human being? Science still can’t tell us the full story – which is wondrous in itself. The cell is the essential life-giving unit that we’re all made up of. In fact, we can’t even say with certainty where life begins. The miracle of life isn’t something you can create simply by sticking stuff together. All we’d have would be a pile of inert elements. An episode of the science program Nova, broadcast by US network PBS in 2012, pegged the cost of building a human at a mere $168.Įven the cost of the materials for building a human body, then, is uncertain – but more to the point, even with all those materials, the actual act of building a human being would still be beyond us.

Gender identity, as it develops, is self-identified, as a result of a combination of inherent and extrinsic factors gender role, on the other hand, is demonstrated within society by a set of expected behaviors or characteristics for a given gender. A gender role is usually determined by a culture or community, and may have rigid or loose definitions depending on the approach by the community for rules placed upon any gender categories. This conception is intimately related to a perceived gender role this is defined as a presentation (typically within an external context) that reflects a given gender identity. Gender identity is defined as a personal conception of oneself as male, female, both, or neither. It is ultimately the result of a person's relation to their society's understanding of gendered groups. Gender, while associated with sex, is a separate aspect of an individual.
