Answer:

This sentence contains a comma splice. It has two independent clauses joined only by a comma. One way to revise the sentence is to separate it into two sentences by changing the comma to a period and then capitalizing the word it to start a new sentence.

One way to fix that sentence is to switch around the two phrases used; 'My mother and father are both scientists' and 'It must have been my destiny to become interested in biology.'

It must have been my destiny to spark an interest in Biology, as my mother and father are both scientists.

That's a way to fix that sentence used in your question.

Also, 'destiny' was spelled incorrectly.

This sentence may seem run on if you don't place a conjunction between the two phrases, or if the phrases are not switched.

If the sentence is to be used with a conjunction, it may end up like this....

My mother and father are both scientists, so it must have been my destiny to become interested in biology.

Or, you may just use a period, to change the two phrases used into two separate sentences.

Like this;

My mother and father are both scientists. For that reason, it must have been my destiny to become interested in biology.

ALSO, as you can see above, I have added a few words to the last sentence. Those three words, 'For that reason', give closure to the two sentences.

Hope this helped!

In the Great Gatsby, how does the character Wolfshiem, relate to the theme of love and marriage that is seen throughout the book
kykrilka [37]

It should be noted that the character illustrated the theme as it was shown that the characters are married to the money and the power that it gives them.

<h3>What is a theme?</h3>

A theme simply means the main idea that's conveyed in a story. A theme is the central idea. It's simply what the author wants the readers to know.

In this case, the character Wolfshiem, relates to the theme of love and marriage. Marriage and love weren't depicted in the traditional sense. It showed that people married because of money.
