Explain the role that biology plays in human physical and sexual development.

What will be an ideal response?


Biology plays an important role in the immense physical changes we go through from childhood to adolescence and then in the transition to young adulthood. Biological processes cause our bodies to change shape and appearance. They are associated with new physical sensations and perhaps new desires or sexual feelings. These processes enable adults to initiate love and sexual relations, and to reproduce. They impact our images of ourselves and others, our emotions, and our interactions with other people.
