Answer: The given statement is True.  

Cerebral cortex is an outer thin layer grey matter that covers the outermost portion of the cerebrum ( the largest part present in the most superior region of the brain).

Cerebral cortex is considered as the highest level of the brain that possesses approximately 20 billion neurons. It is responsible for carrying highest level of mental functioning.

Functions associated with cerebral cortex are-

Determination of Intelligence  and personality, motor activities, processing of sensory information, processing of language, sensation of touch etc.

Give some examples of biodiversity you find in your ecosystem.
artcher [175]

Most people recognize biodiversity by species—a group of individual living organisms that can interbreed. Examples of species include blue whales, white-tailed deer, white pine trees, sunflowers, and microscopic bacteria that can't even be seen by the naked eye.

Why do researchers prefer to use embryonic stem cells instead of adult stem cells ?
siniylev [52]

Answer:

Why not use adult stem cells instead of using human embryonic stem cells in research? Human embryonic stem cells are thought to have much greater developmental potential than adult stem cells. ... However, a newer type of reprogrammed adult cells, called induced pluripotent stem cells, has proven to be pluripotent.

Whats the relationship between DNA,chromosomes,and genes?
Elina [12.6K]
DNA is a chain of nucleotides bonded together.  On that chain there are particular portions of it that the sequence of the nucleotide codes for particular proteins; this is known as a gene.  In eukaryotric cells, DNA is coiled around proteins such as histones to form chromatids which when two join at the centre by a centromere to form a chromosome.

Why does diversity increase as height above land increases​
wolverine [178]

Biodiversity rises with altitude initially before falling with height beyond that. Up until it reaches a diversity peak at about 1 300 to 1 800 m.

  • The biodiversity increases at higher geographical locations because There are more hiding locations. They are better for crop growth. They frequently include more than one kind of habitat.
  • As latitude or altitude change, so does biodiversity. As we descend from high to low elevations, the diversity increases (i.e., from poles to equator).
  • While the environment is harsh and plants have a brief growing season in the temperate region, tropical rain forests provide year-round growth-friendly circumstances.
  • This enables the emergence and expansion of several species. On a mountain, there is an initial increase in species diversity after which there is a decline in species variety as you go up in elevation.
  • At higher elevations, temperature drops and seasonal variations increase, which significantly diminishes.

A normal chromosome and its homolog carrying an inversion are given. the dot (•) represents the centromere. normal: a b c • d e
kotegsom [21]

The type of inversion is Paracentric inversion.

There are two types of inversion at the chromosome level, depending on the centromere:

Paracentric inversions:

the centromere is not included in the inversion.

Pericentric inversions:

The centromere is included in the inversion which can transform a metacentric chromosome into an acrocentric chromosome.

the structure that will form during synapsis is inversion loop.

These inversions are balanced rearrangements but at the moment of meiosis they cause difficulties in pairing. There is most often formation of a pairing loop. The occurrence of recombination in the inverted segment causes the formation of abnormal gametes by duplication / impairment.
