In this
case, when Alicia is being tickled by her older sister, the divisions of
the nervous system which are responsible for receiving the signals from her
sister’s fingers are called somatosensory cortex and anterior
cingulated cortex nervous system.
When you are touched lightly, the effect of having that ticklish
sensation is caused by the analysis of two regions of the brain. For example,
when our brain analyses the pressure of the touch, this is the work of
the somatosensory cortex. On the other hand, as
soon as something touches your skin, the signal sent from the skin's sensory
receptors also passes through the anterior cingulated cortex.<span>This is
where the pleasant feelings are governed. </span>
Efficiency is the measure of how much work or energy is conserved in a process. In many processes, work or energy is lost, for example as waste heat or vibration. The efficiency is the energy output, divided by the energy input, and expressed as a percentage.
Efficiency is the energy output, divided by the energy input, and expressed as a percentage.
Efficiency = (1350/1500)×100
= 90%
I) Locus- the chromosomal site where a specific gene is located. A locus is a fixed position on a chromosome, like the position of a gene or a marker. Each chromosome carries ,many genes; human's estimated haploid (n) protein coding genes are about 20,000, on the 23 different chromosomes.
ii) Interference; the observed double crossover frequency differs from the expected double crossover frequency. Cross over interference is used to refer to the non-random placement of crossovers with respect to each other during meiosis. It results in widely spaced crossovers along chromosomes. Interference may exert its effect across whole chromosomes. As chromosomes in many eukaryotes are large, interference must be able to act over megabase lengths of DNA.
iii) Linkage- the tendency for genes located in close proximity on the same chromosome to be inherited together. Normally when two genes are close together on the same chromosome, they do not assort independently and are said to be linked. Whereas genes located on different chromosomes assort independently and have a recombination frequency of 50%, linked genes have a recombination frequency that is less than 50%.
iv) Recombination- the process by which a new pattern of alleles on a chromosome is generated. Genetic recombination is the production of offspring with combinations f traits that differ from those found in either parent. During meiosis in eukaryotes, genetic recombination involves the pairing of homologous chromosomes. This may be followed by information transfer between the chromosomes.
The right answer is Schwann cells.
<span>Schwann cells, or neurolemmocytes, are peripheral glial cells. With oligodendrocytes, they make myelin sheaths around the axons of neurons, protecting them and increasing the speed of electric nerve impulses.</span>
The correct answer is option B
Biological systems can be defined as the complex system in which the function of a component is dependent on the functioning of the other components. By knowing the function of each component one can get an insight into the structure and organization of the living system. The different components of the biological systems are interconnected and they function accordingly.
