One of the following statements was given in the film as the best way to understand genetic differences in human populations. Ch

oose the correct statement that also offers the correct explanation.
a. Populations differ by distance…If we were to walk from the tropics to Norway, what we would see is a continuous change in skin tone. And at no point along that trip would we be able to say this is the place in which we go from the dark race to the light race.
b. For race to be more than skin deep, one has to have concordance. In other words, skin color needs to reflect things that are deeper in the body under the skin. But most of human variation is non-concordant. Skin color…is not correlated with height or weight and definitely not correlated with more complex traits like intelligence or athletic performance.
c. It’s one of the misconceptions that sickle cell disease is an African American or an African disease. Sickle cell trait is not uncommon in people from the Mediterranean region…Where malaria was common the sickling gene was selected—in Arabia, South Asia, Central and Western, but not Southern Africa.
d. If one were to walk across the globe, you would find that in colder climates, people are lighter in skin color due to less melanin production. In warmer climates, you would find people are darker in skin color due to more melanin production. This is a survival mechanism.

Answer: a. Populations differ by distance…If we were to walk from the tropics to Norway, what we would see is a continuous change in skin tone. And at no point along that trip would we be able to say this is the place in which we go from the dark race to the light race.

Explanation:

This is in relation to an interview of Joseph Graves, Jr., an evolutionary biology professor. He was of the opinion that when it came to the subject of skin tone, there is no single place we can say that people become white and people become dark.

He insists rather, that genetic differences such as skin tone, are mostly based on their geographical location such that those that are closer to each other share similar traits which reduces as they move further apart. This is why if we walked from the tropics northward, people progressively get lighter in complexion because they are sharing lesser and lesser traits.

Midwest University Medical Center reimburses professors and students for travel expenses when they go to national meetings. Beca
kykrilka [37]

This practice decreases fraudulent activity by supporting documentation procedure principle of control activities.

Explanation:

In professional and educational institute there is a norm to give transport allowance and dearness allowance for attending educational trip, assignments or meetings. But for that the party need to show valid receipt of tickets, fooding and lodging bill. Otherwise some disloyal person will take advantage of it and will try to withdraw more money by not showing the actual spent amount.

Here University medical center is giving reimburse for travel expenses and meal for attending a medical conference. But for that the receipt of meal is required otherwise many of the professors and students will take the charges of alcohol by adding it's price with the meal. So, documentation procedures need to be followed to avoid this discrepancy.

Sociologists work to understand the role religion serves in our society.
Fittoniya [83]

Religion is a belief system that consists of a set of common myths, rites, practices, sacred texts, and ethics that tends to organize large human groups based on the belief of a transcendental or spiritual order to which that particular group, or the entire humanity, is linked.

In this sense, religion works as an ideology through which large groups of people who do not know each other can cooperate together towards one particular goal. Throughout history, religion worked as an amalgam for large groups to set a common ground of understanding, belief, and moral. It made possible, for example, for ancient Egyptians to build the pyramids, and in general, it provided a supernatural justification for the political order, and it prompted the emergence of big empires that extended in space and time.

However, since there were many religions throughout the world and throughout history, and since most of the great religions have a universal vocation, they tended to collide between them in order to impose their particular worldview. In this sense, religion creates more space between people and, often, they give reasons for religious wars.
