SLO2- Understand how factors in the social structure, such as the economy, public policy, religion, and education influence patterns and changes in marriage, families, and relationships.
For this question students will choose and discuss TWO factors in the social structure and their influence. The basics for this are touched upon in chapter one but every chapter from CH3 – CH14 discusses various factors in the social structure and the influence they have so students will need to choose, be specific, and focus on the detail for one example of influence/change per factor.
Choose a factor in the social structure, define it in your own words, then explain using an example, a specific way that this factor has influenced patterns and/or changes in either marriage, families, or relationships. Detail and terminology are expected.
Choose a different factor in the social structure, define it in your own words, then explain using an example, a specific way that this factor has influenced patterns and/or changes in either marriage, families, or relationships. Detail and terminology are expected.

In order to receive full credit for this assignment, you must provide the following;
The correct identification of Unknown organism in this homework assignment.
The correct interpretation of the biochemical tests in the table below for this unknown organism.
Create a flow chart which demonstrates the tests that allowed you separate the unknown organism from the list.
Use Microsoft PowerPoint, it is easier for creating flow charts compared to Microsoft Word
You do not need to isolate the entire list of organisms from each other, just your unknown from the list. See the sample flow chart.
Using your biochemical and morphological results to indentify the identity of your orphan organism by using the Bergey’s manual.
Create a flow chart and identify your orphan organism.
UNKNOWN # 3
The follow biochemical tests were performed after an unknown bacterium was isolated into a pure culture. Each of the tests was incubated at 37°C for 24 hours and when appropriate the use of reagents was added in the correct volumes to each of the tests. The following table describes these results.

Q1) Explain the difference between contractionary and expansionary fiscal policy. Regarding the business cycle, when would you use each type of fiscal policy? Explain you answer with sufficient detail so the instructor has clear evidence that you under the difference between the policies, the types of action each policy might entail, and the economic impact of each.

Executive Summary
The executive summary is a company marketing document intended to excite potential investors, customers, advisers, and employees. Its purpose is to get the call back and start the serious discussions—the process that will result in action.
Your executive summary should include:
This paper should have a title page, abstract (the elevator speech), body, and reference page. Points will be deducted if any of these four sections are missing. Make sure papers are written in correct APA style.
The executive summary should be between 400-600 words (not including the elevator speech/abstract), double space, and use font size 12. Structure the paper along the lines advised above.

JAVA Input a phrase from the keyboard, if the phrase contains "red" or "RED" print out "red" . if the phrase contains "blue" or "BLUE" output "blue" In all other cases print "No Color" For example: If the input was "Violets are BLUE" your output should be "blue" If the input was "Singing the blues" output "blue" If the input was "I have a pure bred puppy" your output should be "red" If the input was "Today is Monday" output "No color". If the input was "My shirt is Blue" output "No color". (because you are only looking for "blue", "BLUE", "red", "RED")

Answer the following about metabolic syndrome in as much detail
as you can recall (10 pts)
i. What is
metabolic syndrome and what are the causes or the conditions that
cause and/or associated with metabolic syndrome? (3 pts)
(type answer here)
ii. What are
the metabolic/biochemical characteristics of metabolic syndrome?
(remember this is a biochemistry class and pathway and signaling
and specific reaction discussions should be included with this
answer – what pathways are affected and what is happening to them?
) (4 pts)
(type answer here)
iii. What factors have been shown to help alleviate the effects of metabolic syndrome and their effects on metabolism? Explain why these factors or changes have had these effects on metabolic syndrome

Questions 1
You are the principle investigator of a research unit in the Botany and Plant Biotechnology department that studies medicinal plant usage in South Africa. Your work focused extensively on devil’s claw. You have identified that one of the plant extracts, harpagoside that is an iridoid glycoside, is of medicinal use. You would like to produce this iridoid glycoside in a liquid culture of Escherichia coli at commercial scale. You have identified that the key enzyme that you would need to introduce into E. coli is an iridoid synthase from devil’s claw. This gene is known and studied in Arabidopsis thaliana but remains to be identified from devil’s claw. How would you go about using the known Arabidopsis sequence to isolate the full length gene from devil’s claw? Describe the steps that you will follow in detail and provide all the details of the techniques that you use in each step and how your approach will impact on these steps. Hint: It is critical to remember that devil’s claw is a eukaryote and E. coli, where you want to express the iridoid synthase protein, is a prokaryote. (29)
Question 2
How will you ensure that the PCR amplicon that you have obtained is the correct gene from devil’s claw? Describe the steps that you will follow in detail and provide all the details of the techniques that you use in each step. (11)
Question 3
You want to clone and express the gene that you’ve isolated from devil’s claw in E. coli. Describe all the necessary adjustments that you would need to make to your gene to ensure correct expression in E. coli. (5)
Question 4
Describe all the steps that you would take to clone your gene into E. coli. Draw a diagram of your vector containing the gene insert. Discuss how you will identify a clone in an E. coli cell that you can work further with. Describe the steps that you will follow in detail and provide details of the techniques that you use in each step and how your approach will impact on these steps. (25)
