Answer:

Jill's problems -characterized by learning disabilities due to ADHD- could be the result of prenatal exposure to behavioral teratogens, though he stresses that the link is not straightforward at this time.

Explanation:

The options for this question are:

  1. <em>Genetic abnormalities.</em>
  2. <em>Cell differentiation.</em>
  3. <em>Behavioral teratogens.</em>
  4. <em>Chromosomal abnormalities.</em>

ADHD is an <u>Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder,</u> a rare condition that has been linked to hereditary and environmental factors, such as exposure to teratogens.

Hereditary factors include genetic and chromosomal abnormalities, which can be passed from parent to child.

Pre-natal environmental factors are all those to which the mother has been exposed and which affect the normal development of the fetus. Among these factors are behavioral teratogens.

<u>Substances such as nicotine, alcohol, drugs of abuse, and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) have been identified as behavioral teratogens, which could possibly have produced ADHD in Jill</u>.

The reason the doctor says the link between behavioral teratogens and Jill's ADHD is not straightforward at this time is because multiple factors can produce the disorder and must be considered through parental questioning and clinical testing.

Each of the following relates to an aspect of evolution by natural selection. Explain the following. ii. Natural selection and t
dlinn [17]

         The first one, ii. Natural selection and the formation of inseticide resistant insects or antibiotic resistant bacteria.

          This can be explained in very simple way. As we all know, natural selection works in a way that only that adapted living beings are going to survive through a specific environment, whether it's because they can grab their food without too much work, or even that they can adapt to the weather. When we use inseticide, we are killing lots of non-resistant insects, and what's left are those that are resistant to this inseticide, and they'll reproduce again, and again we'll go through the same process, but remember, this insect is now stronger and more resistant that before.

            The second case, iii. speciation and isolation give three examples how it may occur.

            Well. the allopatric speciation and isolation will happen when theres a geographic barrier between one species. This one then is divided into two diffent habitats, but what can divide than could be a mountain, a tree, a river, a rock, anything. And this could be too called as a geographic isolation, because in this new environment, species are going to develop in a different way.

Damage to sensory receptor cells would most likely result in ________. I. confusion of visual and auditory input II. inaccurate
MatroZZZ [7]

Answer:

The correct answer is: None of the above. The accurate answer is: Problem or inability in detecting the sensory information.

Explanation:

  • Sensory receptor cells form the part of the sensory epithelial layer that are present in the form of a lining in all sensory organs.
  • These sensory cells possess some specialised receptor molecules, usually on the surface of the cells, that can sense different types of sensory signals like light, in case of eyes, smell is case of nose, taste in case of tongue and sound in case of ears.
  • Any damage caused to these cells will adversely affect their capability to perceive or receive or detect the sensory signals.
  • Option I is incorrect because sensory cells are not only present in the eyes and ears but also in nose, tongue, skin. The activity of the sensory cells of one organ is independent of the activity of sensory cells of other organs hence, damage to the sensory cells of one organ will not create any confusion in different sensory inputs.
  • Option II is incorrect because integration of all the sensory impulses occur in the brain after the impulse has been received and detected by multiple sensory receptor cells and send to the brain through the sensory neurons.
