Researchers have examined whether gender differences in some cognitive areas might be explained by hormonal factors. The discussion of this possibility emphasizes that
 
  a. the levels of hormones prior to birth do have an effect on the performance of spatial tasks.
  b. during puberty, the level of an important hormone increases more in males than in females, and this factor explains part of the male advantage on complex math tasks.
  c. the results of this research are often contradictory or complex.
  d. because this research has been carefully conducted, this is the most likely of the biological explanations for cognitive gender differences.

Question 2

One of the categories of biological explanations for cognitive gender differences focuses on genetic gender differences. A typical genetic explanation proposes that
 
  a. for males, a greater percentage of each chromosome is devoted to spatial ability.
  b. males inherit math abilities from both parents, whereas females inherit math abilities from just the mother.
  c. some abilities may be associated with recessive traits, carried on the X chromosome.
  d. the chromosomes are more likely to undergo mutation in males than in females.
