The genotype is a set of genes in the DNA which are responsible for the unique trait or characteristics.
Whereas the phenotype is the physical appearance or characteristic of the organism.
Thus, we can find the human genetic code with the help of their genotype.
Organisms may look the same but still may not have the same genotype.
One can determine the genotype by the biological tests.
On the other hand, the phenotype is determined by an individual’s genotype and can be expressed as genes or by the visible traits.
Such traits are hair color or type, eye color body shape, and height, and many such more.
It will depend on the genotype but also influenced by the factors existing in the surrounding.

Which of these observations illustrate regional specialization in the human nervous system?

Savatey [412]

<h2>Regional specialization of Human Nervous System</h2>

Explanation:

The statements that illustrate the regional specialization of human nervous system are-

a. Sensory information may be processed in the occipital lobe or the temporal lobe.

c. Reading a printed word out loud and then thinking of a related word involves the visual cortex, Broca’s area, and the frontal and temporal lobes.

Humans have the most developed nervous system among all the living organisms. Various parts of the nervous system has been specialized for various function. The human brain has been divided into different parts like cerebellum, cerebrum , medulla oblongata etc which are further divided into specialized parts. Each part is specialized to carry out particular function. Moreover, the nervous system has different types of neurons like motor neuron, sensory neurons and interneurons. Each type of neuron has specialized function.

Atmospheric carbon dioxide dissolves into ocen surface waters

Elan Coil [88]

Answer:

Carbon dioxide, which is naturally in the atmosphere, dissolves into seawater. Water and carbon dioxide combine to form carbonic acid (H2CO3), a weak acid that breaks (or “dissociates”) into hydrogen ions (H+) and bicarbonate ions (HCO3-).

Valentin [98]

Answer:

Additive effects

Explanation:

In pharmacology, sometimes more than one drug is used to treat a disorder. The two or more drugs are used as they treat the disease more effectively than they treat the disorder independently. The two drugs interact in one of the two ways: the additive effect and the synergistic effect.

In the given question, the drugs when combined produce the sum of the drugs equal to the effect shown by the drugs individually therefore the effect of the drug is added. This type of drug interaction is known as the additive effect.

Thus, Additive effect is the correct answer.
