Answer:

The correct answer would be option C.

Study of genes helps in understanding their functioning that is, how they control the traits, how they help in basic physiology of the body, how they are linked to diseases or disorders, and how the genetic disorders can be treated.

Leber Congenital Amaurosis is a genetic disorder which affects the functioning of the eyes.

Thus, gene location and functioning would help in understanding the causes of Leber Congenital Amaurosis disease and in developing the treatment for the same.

Axons of the nervous system are described as afferent and efferent according to the direction in which they carry information. W
Ahat [919]

Answer:

The correct option is b) motor output of the spinal cord

Explanation:

Motor neurons, also called afferent neurons, drive impulses from the brain and spinal cord to the receptors (eg, muscles). They are the motor output component of the spinal cord.

The spinal cord is a cord of nerve tissue that runs inside the spine. It conducts the nerve impulses that arrive from the receptors to the brain, and the responses with the motor orders from the brain to the effector organs. Thus, the brain receives the information and can develop an order that modifies the reflex response given by the spinal cord. A spinal nerve has two nerve roots: a motor and a sensory root. The motor root has nerve fibers that carry signals from the spinal cord, to the muscles to stimulate contraction and produce muscle movements, the fibers are efferent as they leave the medulla to the periphery through the anterior roots of the spinal nerves.

During a trip to the Galapagos Islands, which observation led Charles Darwin to suspect that organisms change over time? Island
Triss [41]

Answer:

Island finches did not have beaks of the same size and shape

Explanation:

This is  the evidence  of variation,  and therefore proof that  the finches were able to survive  the  selective pressure  by adapting their beaks to different feeds. Therefore finches that were able to adapt  adjusted their beak shapes to the selecting pressure 'feeds' in the environment,  and are naturally selected, and therefore adapted and evolved with time .While those without the surviving  beaks lost out.

Thus  changes in selection pressure, necessitated corresponding  change in the beaks shape  for adaption to survive( due to variation, ) and therefore natural selection   for evolution
