Sex
Organisms of many species are specialized into male and female varieties, each known as a sex.Sexual reproduction involves the combining and mixing of genetic traits: specialized cells known as gametes combine to form offspring that inherit traits from each parent. Gametes can be identical in form and function (known as isogamy), but in many cases an asymmetry has evolved such that two sex-specific types of gametes (heterogametes) exist (known as anisogamy).
Among humans and other mammals, males typically carry XY chromosomes, whereas females typically carry XX chromosomes, which are a part of the XY sex-determination system. Other animals have a sex-determination system as well, such as the ZW sex-determination system in birds, and the X0 sex-determination system in insects.
The gametes produced by an organism are determined by its sex: males produce male gametes (spermatozoa, or sperm, in animals; pollen in plants) while females produce female gametes (ova, or egg cells); individual organisms which produce both male and female gametes are termed hermaphroditic. Frequently, physical differences are associated with the different sexes of an organism; these sexual dimorphisms can reflect the different reproductive pressures the sexes experience.
Sex (The 1975 EP)
Sex is the second extended play (EP) by English indie rock band The 1975, released on 19 November 2012 by Vagrant Records. It is the second of four EPs which were released before their first full-length album, The 1975. A music video for the single "Sex" was released onto YouTube on 5 October 2012.
Reception
Critical reception has been mainly positive. Paste Magazine praised the 1975's "haunting vocals" and described the eponymous single as "full of catchy hooks". Nylon Magazine lauded their "accent-inflected truisms" and the use of guitars in their music.
Track Listing
All lyrics written by Matthew Healy, George Daniel, Nisha Sangar, all music composed by The 1975, Coles and Coles.
