Answer.

Anatomically bundles of motor fibres  exits from the brain  to reach the  medulla oblongata  as  paired  white structures,called medulla pyramids.

These paired structures contains bundles of  corticospinal and corticotubular tracts and are therefore refers to as medullary tracts. At the junction of the  medulla and spinal cord, the paired tract cross- winged,decussate,  intercept or give X-shape.

Thus  the right tract swings to the left side of the body  and the left tract swing to the right  side of the body. This is called decussation of the pyramid.

Consequently  the left hemisphere controls the sensory and motor neurons of  left side of the body and vice versa for the right hemisphere.Therefore  brain hemorrhage within the region of the right internal capsule will cause paralysis of the left side due to  the  pyramidal decussation because the motor fibres of the right internal capsule which controls the left motor unit have been affected by  the stroke, leading to loss of  motor control  and  paralysis of the left side of the body.

The reverse is the case if the haemorrhage  occurred at the left internal capsule.

A brain haemorrhage within the region of the right internal capsule results in paralysis of the left side of the body because the motor area of the igt hemisphere of the cerebrum controls the muscle movement on the right side of the body and vice versa.

Explanation: The primary motor area lies in the frontal lobe of the brain immediately anterior to the central sulcus.the cell bodies are pyramid shaped and they control skeletal muscle activities.two neurons are involved in the pathway to skeletal muscle(the upper motor neurone and the lower motor neurone).The upper motor neurone descends from the motor cortex if the brain through the internal capsule of the medulla oblongata,then it CROSSES TO THE OPPOSITE SIDE and descends in the spinal cord.

From the spinal cord,it joins with the lower motor neurone whivh leaves the spinal cord and goes to the target muscle.

When either of these neurones is damaged,it results to paralysis.

Y-: yellow S-: star yy: black ss: starless
Ede4ka [16]

Answer:

1. heterozygous yellow and star

2. 37

3. 1/8

4. 168

5. 1/4

Explanation:

Given ,

In f1 generation a cross is made between a true breeding black star bellied sneetch mated with a true breeding yellow starless sneetch

yySS x YYss

It is taken as - Y (yellow) is dominant over y (black)

and S (star) is dominant over s (starless)

1. F1 Generation

Genotype of parents yySS X YYss

gametes - yS, yS, Ys, Ys

All 16 offspring will have genotype YySs

phenotype would be heterozygous yellow and star

2. F2 generation cross

YySs X YySs

YS        Ys         yS        ys

YS YYSS YYSs YySS YySy

Ys YYSs YYss YySs Yyss

yS YySS YySs yySS yySs

ys YySs Yyss yySs yyss

Genotype of offspring are –  

YYSS – 1

YYSs – 2

YySS – 2

YySs – 4

YYss- 1

Yyss- 2

yySS – 1

yySs- 1

yyss- 1

2. Out of 16, 2 are black star bellied sneetches . Which means only 1/8 are black star bellied sneetches

So out of 300, 37 are black star bellied sneetches

3. Only 2 out of 16 are true breeding. i.e 1/8

4. 9 out of 16 are yellow star bellied sneetches, so out of 300, 168 are yellow star bellied sneetches

5. 4 out of 16 are true breeding yellow. Thus, ¼ are true breeding

Use this model of a eukaryotic transcript to answer the following question. E = exon and I = intron 5' UTR E1 I1 E2 I2 E3 I3 E4
sveticcg [70]

Answer:

<h2>5' UTR E1 E2 E3 E4 UTR 3'</h2>

Explanation:

During RNA splicing, introns are removed and exons are joined tp each other to form  a mature mRNA and this RNA moves to cytosol.. So 5' UTR , UTR 3' and all exons are joined together.

All introns are removed and exons are joind during RNA splicing process.

So the final mRNA is 5' UTR E1 E2 E3 E4 UTR 3'.

Which statements describe analogous structures? Select three options. Analogous structures indicate a common ancestor. Analogous
Vinil7 [7]

Answer:

The correct answers are:

Analogous structures do not indicate a common ancestor. Analogous structures have the same function but a different structure. An example of an analogous structure is the wing of a bat and a butterfly.

Explanation:

Analogous structures are the structures that have a similar function in various organisms but their anatomic structure is different from one another in reality. Analogous structures are do not indicate a common ancestor.

An analogous structures example is the wings of the bat and butterfly as they are both used for flying but their structure is different anatomically from one another.

Kipish [7]

Answer:

The population of sage-grouse decreases with the passage of time because of humans.

Explanation:

In the past, long time ago the population of sage-grouse bird were in millions in the Western United States of America and Canada but gradually decrease occurs in population with the passage of time due to the change which occurs in the environment by humans. Destroying the natural habitat for making buildings and for energy development decrease the population of sage-grouse from 16 million to 500,000 during 100 years.
