From an evolutionary perspective, what adaptive value do mirror neurons have?

1 answer:

5 0

Mirror neurons are said to be the factors behind social imitation. Neurons are the main cell of the nervous system which is responsible for communication of organs and control of many bodily functions. In an evolutionary standpoint, mirror neurons are an advantage because humans are able to replicate and imitate skills, behaviors and practices which they find beneficial and advantageous in the wild. Among their social peers, mirror neurons help these individuals practice social inclusion through culture, values and practices for increased group cohesion and cooperation.

Darwin observed fossils of huge animals such as glyptodon why were these fossils of interest to him

Finger [1]

I believe its is because the fossils of these animals looked like living species and they had a connection to the modern. A fossil is any preserved evidence of life from a past geological age, such as the impressions and remains of organisms embedded in stratified rocks. Fossils are created when organisms die, are in cased in dirt and rock, and are slowly replaced by minerals over time.

What is one reason water can remain in the liquid state on Earth?

vova2212 [387]

Answer:

Explanation:

water boils at 100 degrees Celcius and freezes at zero degrees Celcius. if you want to keep water in a liquid phase, the temperature has to be between 0 and 100 therefore earth is the only planet that is able to keep water in a liquid phase as it is not too hot nor too cold

The specific heat of iron is 0.11 cal/goC. A cafeteria fork made of iron has a mass of 20 grams. How much heat energy is needed

Natasha2012 [34]

Hello!

To solve this problem you need to use the following equation for heat transfer to calculate the heat added (Q) and substitute in this equation the values for specific heat (c), mass (m) and temperature difference (ΔT). The following equation describes the heat needed to raise the temperature of a given object:

$Q=c*m*ΔT=(0,11cal/g°C)*(11g)*(75°C-25°C)=121 cal$ :

So, to heat the cafeteria fork made of iron with a mass of 20 grams from 25 °C to 75°C, you'll need 121 cal of heat energy.
