The Brodmann areas are a method of mapping the cortex and its distinct functions that was developed by Korbinian Brodmann, after whom the areas are named.

Korbinian Brodmann (November 17, 1868 – August 22, 1918) was a German neurologist best known for classifying the cerebral cortex into 52 distinct regions based on cytoarchitectonic (histological) characteristics. These areas are now commonly known as Brodmann areas.

The Brodmann classification divides the cortex into approximately 52 sequentially numbered areas, though some regions have since been subdivided and others are only found in non-human primates.

It is in charge of motor movements such as contralateral finger/hand/wrist or orofacial movements, learned motor sequences, breathing control, and voluntary blinking. The primary visual cortex (Brodmann area 17) is located on the medial surface of the occipital lobe, in and on either side of the calcarine sulcus.

adoni [48]

Answer:

Disruptive selection

Explanation:

According to the infographic that is attached below showing different the three main types of selection that occurs as a result of natural selection taking its course on any population, we can draw our conclusion regarding the information given to us from the question.

From the question above, it states that the finches studied by Darwin are majorly finches with either small beak or large beak which are all adapted to suit the type of food available for the finches in the islands. Whereas, finches with intermediate beaks are favored against.

According to the infographic, disruptive selection can be said to have taken place as extreme traits are favored against intermediate traits on the islands.

Each of the following microorganisms typically inhabit the damaged tissue in acute necrotizing ulcerative gingivitis (ANUG) exce

lutik1710 [3]

Answer:the correct option is B

(Streptococcus).

Explanation:

Acute necrotizing ulcerative gingivitis (ANUG) occurs due to poor oral hygiene which encourages plaque to form on teeth, causing inflammation of the surrounding gum tissues. The microorganisms that are known to inhabit the damaged tissues are oral spirochaete which includes Borrelia,Fusobacteria, Bacteroidese and Peptostreptococcus. Streptococcus is not an oral spirochaete therefore is excluded. I hope this helps.

The half life of Carbon 14 is 5500 years. How many years will pass for a 30 gram sample to reach 3.75 grams

sertanlavr [38]

Half life is the time taken by a radioactive isotope to decay by half of its original mass. In this case the half life of carbon-14 is 5500 years.
The original mass is 30 g and the new mass is 3.75 g.
New mass = Original mass × (1/2)^n, where n is the number of half lives;
3.75 = 30 × (1/2)^n
1/8 = (1/2)^n
n = 3
Thus, the time taken will be; 3 × 5500 = 16500 years.
