The answer is that the equatorial regions receive sun rays closest to the vertical (direct rays) because of their position relative to the equator where the tilting of the earth only mildly affects the climate. The climate along the equator changes very little through out the year and has summer like conditions for most of the year.

However the other regions may receive direct sun rays but for far more limited periods. In the months of July and August (summer months), the northern hemisphere is tilted towards the sun and receives the most direct rays. The opposite occurs in December and January when it is tilted away from the sun and thus winter sets in, whereas the southern hemisphere is at this time tilted toward the sun and receives the most direct sun rays.

Suppose scientists determine that a set of genes is significantly more prevalent in murderers than in the population at large. W

forsale [732]

Answer:

Explanation:

That a gene is common to all murderers in the population does not mean that murderers are not at fault for their crimes.

Having a gene that correlates with murder just gives one a genetic tendency but the environment and personal choice still have to influence the decision to commit the crime. In other words, one might have the genetic tendency to commit murder but still has to be environmentally enabled and the ability to choose to either do it or otherwise. Nature, nurture, and personal choice would have to synergistically work together for the phenotypic expression of such a gene.
