<u>Answer:</u>

The<u> autonomic nervous system </u>is the part of the peripheral nervous system that directs the activity of glands, organs, and smooth muscles.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The autonomic nervous system (ANS) is a control mechanism that operates primarily unconsciously and controls body workings like respiratory rate, heart rate, pupil response, digestion, urination and sexual excitement. This method is the primary driving force for regulating the reply to fight or flight.

To regulate physiological functions, it controls involuntary responses. There are also two divisions to the ANS while these two splits have oppositional effects on their internal organs:

  • the sympathetic division and
  • the parasympathetic division.

What evidence can be examined when determining common ancestry amongst hominids?
mars1129 [50]

We examined the biogeographic patterns implied by early hominid phylogenies and compared them to the known dispersal patterns of Plio-Pleistocene African mammals. All recent published phylogenies require between four and seven hominid dispersal events between southern Africa, eastern Africa, and the Malawi Rift, a greater number of dispersals than has previously been supposed. Most hominid species dispersed at the same time and in the same direction as other African mammals. However, depending on the ages of critical hominid specimens, many phylogenies identify at least one hominid species that dispersed in the direction opposite that of contemporaneous mammals. This suggests that those hominids may have possessed adaptations that allowed them to depart from continental patterns of mammalian dispersal.

How does crossing over increase diversity?
Sphinxa [80]

Crossing over does helps in genetic diversity as it provides with new genes combinations. In crossing over, chromatids exchange genetic information during the meiosis. This mixing of genetic information provides the offspring with its own unique genetic makeup with some similarities with the parent’s genetic system. Crossing over is very beneficial in terms of giving the offspring more variability that helps in becoming more resistant to a disease and be a better version than parents.

Explanation:

Vitamins are groups of organic compounds that are essential in small quantities for healthy human growth, metabolism, development, and body function. Vitamins are found in plants and animal foods or sometimes produced synthetically. Deficiencies of specific vitamins produce specific disorders. Vitamin d and vitamin b12 are important vitamins that the body needs. The body produces vitamin D when the skin is exposed to sunlight and it is very essential for strong bones, while vitamin b12 is naturally present in meats. Deficiency of vitamin d in the body can result in bone problems (including teeth) and it has also been linked to depression. Vitamin b12 deficiency can also affect mental functions by causing disorientation, memory loss, depression and confusion.  

From the question, the elderly woman may be developing a deficiency of vitamin d and vitamin b12.
