It is important to consider factors influencing physical, cognitive, and socioemotional development long before the baby arrives. In this discussion, you will examine the relative roles of genetics and the environment. Environmental effects on development include both macrocultural and microcultural influences. Macrocultural influences are the broader influences on a child’s development, such as mass media, religious denomination, societal rules, or educational norms. Microcultural influences are those on a small scale, such as family eating habits, traditions, hierarchical structures, and routines.

Based on the principles of behaviorism, John B. Watson argued, tongue-in-cheek, that he could take a healthy baby and make him into a lawyer, doctor, or thief. Sandra Scarr argued that often a child’s genetic predispositions override the influence of the environment. Based on what you have learned so far about development, select a well-known movie that addresses the nature-versus-nurture question. Some examples are: The Blind Side, Rudy, and A Beautiful Mind. With reference to the film, respond to the following:

How influential is the role of genetics in the child’s development?

What about the role of the environment, temperament, and teratogenics, among others?

Teratogen: Any agent that can disturb the development of an embryo or fetus. Teratogens may cause a birth defect in the child. Or a teratogen may halt the pregnancy outright. The classes of teratogens include radiation, maternal infections, chemicals, and drugs.

Do you agree with Watson, Scarr, both, or neither?

Support your arguments with research, citing sources.

Write your initial response in 3–4 paragraphs. Apply APA standards to citation of sources.

Shown below is the pedigree of a rare neurodegenerative diseasein humans.

a. Based on the pedigree, characterize each of the following modes ofinheritance as likely, unlikely, or impossible: autosomal dominant,autosomal recessive, Y linked, X-linked dominant, and X-linkedrecessive. Justify your reasoning.

Further scrutiny of members of this family reveals thefollowing: 1) The disease’s degree of expression varies amongindividuals, with some mildly affected, others moderately affectedand still others severely affected; and 2) Individual III-14 waspreviously married. Her ex-husband is phenotypically normal, withno history of the disease in his family going back tengenerations. He has custody of the couple’s two children, a girland a boy, both of whom are affected with the disease. The partialpedigree is shown below (the “slash” represents separation ordivorce)

b. Do these findings eliminate any of the remaining “likely orunlikely” modes of inheritance listed in part (a)?Are any of these modes of inheritance still possible? If so, whichone(s) and why?

c. Is mitochondrial inheritance a likely, unlikely or an impossiblemode of inheritance for this disease? Does it provide anexplanation for the disease’s variable expressivity?

d. How can mitochondrial inheritance explain individual III-14?

Write a short statement (200 - 600 words) that answers the following question:

-- Is it possible to both understand systems biology AND believe in a higher power (“God”)?

*** In your statement, include details that explain what systems biology is and include specific details about how systems biology methods answer questions and permit humans to make interventions in biological processes to support your philosophical arguments.

Your statement can be based on your own personal beliefs or it can be an objective evaluation of these questions that does not specifically reference your own personal beliefs.
