ESSAY #1: Gay Genes or Intrauterine Factors?

– The instructions are in RED. You may erase those after you no longer need them.
What is in BLACK is the outline of your essay. Do not erase anything that is typed in black. You are supposed to type in black, answering each question right underneath it.

-You must answer each of the questions below, using complete sentences as well as proper spelling, grammar, punctuation and use of terminology. Only use pronouns when it is absolutely clear the noun to which you are referring. Preserve the organization you see below. In other words, do not erase anything in black, but merely type (in black) your answers between the numbered questions. What you see in blue is the beginning of your suggested answer. You may simply convert it into black and edit those words, deleting or changing those that do not fit your answer.When you no longer need the instructions (in red) or the suggestions (in blue) you may erase them, so that when you are done, only the black remains.
