Answer 1

<•>A family refers to the union of two members producing offspring of their own gene.In simple they are interlinked or interrelated to one another genetically.

<•>It can affect the family unit in the following way

• In case of it is a single parenting system ,then the child may lack certain knowledge, experience and freedom to express all their needs , queries to the opposite gender parents besides any reasons.
• Usually most of the family are controlled by male gender than female where sexuality plays the key role
• Decision factors cannve afgtected in the gilt when the dominant sexuality is depended in a family

<•>There are many possibilities for one individual to change the entire dynamics of the family if they take up responsibility.For instance if a nuclear family with two children loses their father,here the female or the mother when comes to support their family.She is solely responsible for growth or detoriation of the family either by working hard or by leaving her child in orphanage and trying to find a new life.

<•>Sexuality by birth is not a choice but by lifestyle factors, environmental factors, exposure, experience, genetics, hormonal changes,etc.,can make an individual to choose their sex.Even when they choose their sexuality, medically they are termed to be gender dysmorphia or transgender only and not as a birth make or female.
