Document Summary

Lecture questions: structure of varna and jati & differences: Varna can be translated from sanskrit and means colour . It is one of the four aryan classes of society in the 1500-200 b. c. e . Varna refers to symbolizing colour as the basis of determining the hierarchy of the classes. The brahmans and brahmins are the priests and the religious elite who are considered pure and light. The next important individuals down from the highest social hierarchy are the kshatriyas whom are kings, nobles, military men and political elite. Their duty is to protect the people with their arms. The next class are the vaisya, they are the merchants who sell items and tend cattle. The shudras are the labourers, ,farmers, commoners and peasants who work for the upper classes. The first three are considered the lighter people and therefore come first on the social system and then the darker people become the labourers.

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 childâs 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 childâs 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 childâs 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 3â4 paragraphs. Apply APA standards to citation of sources.

Question 2) - (5 marks) After two years of developing a prototype collaborative hub and at the beginning of the financial year, Large Mart intends to sell the device to its commercial customers directly through its Albury store. However, on the day the devices go on sale, Large Mart receives an offer from the Australian Military to purchase 100 collaborative hubs for $500,000. Large Mart accepts the offer and manufactures the 100 collaborative hubs at a production cost of $3,000 per collaborative hub. (IMPORTANT NOTE: the cost of $3,000 per collaborative hub does NOT include any research or development expenditure!). On the day the collaborative hubs are delivered to the Australian Military, Large Mart receives the $500,000 payment for the collaborative hubs. However, the Large Mart accounting department is unsure how to calculate the Cost of Goods Sold for this sales transaction.

Question 2a) Explain how Large Mart will need to calculate the Cost of Goods Sold for the sale of the collaborative hubs to the Australian Military (IMPORTANT NOTE: You do NOT need to show the calculations for the Cost of Goods Sold!)

The Australian Military is also considering purchasing all rights to the manufacture of the collaborative hub that was developed by Large Mart as a matter of national security and for its own exclusive use.

Question 2b) Explain how the Large Mart accounting department would have to record such a sale of all rights to the manufacture of the collaborative hub to the Australian Military and highlight any differences (if any exist) between this sale of all rights to the manufacture of the collaborative hub and the sale of 100 individual collaborative hubs to the Australian Military. (IMPORTANT NOTE: you do NOT need to show any journal entries or calculations in your answer to this question)

A geneticist studying agriculturally important traits inanimals, designs an experiment in chickens to determine the numberof genes involved in determining the number of eggs layed permonth. A variety of chicken that lays 120 eggs per month is crossedto a variety of chicken that lays 200 eggs per month. Theiroffspring (F₁ generation) lay 160 eggs per month. TheF₂ egglaying phenotypes vary greatly over a range withthe highest and lowest equal to the parental extremes. A total of13,000 F₂ offspring are produced with 12 laying 120 eggsper month and 13 laying 200 eggs per month.

How many gene pairs are involved in determining the number ofeggs a chicken lays? See the last page for a tutorial oncalculating number of polygenes.
What is the average contribution, in eggs, of each activeallele? _______________

Additional information for the polygene question.

To calculate the number of polygenes: 1/4ⁿ = ratio ofF2 individuals expressing either extreme phenotype. In the examplegiven in your textbook and mini-lecture of wheat kernel color, 1/16of the progeny were either dark red or white like the P generation.You need to solve the equation 1/4ⁿ = 1/16. n = thenumber of genes. In this example n=2, there are two genes involvedin wheat kernel color.

Determination of the Number of Polygenes (n) involved in aQuantitative Trait

n	Individuals expressing either extremephenotype	Distinct phenotypic classes

2	1/16	5
3	1/64	7
4	1/256	9
5	1/1024	11
