93% of the prison population in the United States share a specific chromosome, the Y chromosome, which is responsible for creating a biological male. What does this demonstrate?
a. Chromosomal determination of sex does influence behavior, but caution should be taken in making generalizations about how biology affects male or female behavior; although 93% of the prison population is male, most males are not criminals.
b. Chromosomal determination of sex does influence behavior; therefore, genetic screening can provide useful information on how to correct inborn errors of gender identity.
c. Chromosomal determination of sex does influence behavior; therefore, we can assume that most males will commit crimes, and specialized attention should be placed on how to deter men from committing future crimes.
d. Chromosomal determination of sex does influence behavior; therefore, information regarding how and which behaviors are affected by sex chromosomes should be used to create governmental policies and regulations.
