The New Girl
passage is full of hatred. Indeed, when Allison saw the girl, she became aggressive and insulted her. Allison was so prejudiced that she didn't even try to make friends with the black girl.

Human Sexuality.
About six weeks after conception, if a Y chromosome is present in the embryo's cells (as it is in normal males), a gene on the chromosome directs the undifferentiatedgonads to become testes. If the Y chromosome is not present (as in normal females), the undifferentiated gonads will become ovaries. If the gonads become testes, they begin to produce androgens (male hormones, primarily testosterone) by about eight weeks after conception. These androgens stimulate development of the one set of the...
