a distaste for broccoli, because she finds it to be rather bland. Why might Joshua and his mother have such different reactions to the taste of broccoli?​
a. ​As we get older, the overall number of taste buds decreases.
b. ​The orbitofrontal cortex loses a significant number of neurons as we age.
c. ​Myelinated axons connecting to the medulla become unmyelinated as we age.

Answer:

As we get older the number of taste buds decreases.

Explanation:

Gustatory cells or the taste buds contains the different sensory cells on the tongue. The papillae consists of all the taste receptors. The sweet, bitter, salty, umami and sour tastes are recognized by the receptors.

The different individuals have different taste because of the presence of the different taste buds. The number of the taste buds decreases the individual gets older. The children has more taste buds and can easily understand the taste of different things. Hence, Joshua dislikes the broccoli taste.

Thus, the correct answer is option (a).

PLEASE HELP. I REALLY NEED THIS!!!!
Viefleur [7K]

Answer:

In nature, populations are usually evolving. The grass in an open meadow, the wolves in a forest, and even the bacteria in a person's body are all natural populations. And all of these populations are likely to be evolving for at least some of their genes. Evolution is happening right here, right now!

To be clear, that doesn't mean these populations are marching towards some final state of perfection. All evolution means is that a population is changing in its genetic makeup over generations. And the changes may be subtle—for instance, in a wolf population, there might be a shift in the frequency of a gene variant for black rather than gray fur. Sometimes, this type of change is due to natural selection. Other times, it comes from migration of new organisms into the population, or from random events—the evolutionary "luck of the draw."

I hope this helps a little bit.

In humans, syndactyly (webbed digits) is inherited by possession of a dominant allele (S). If a man who is homozygous and normal
____ [38]

Answer:

The % of children with webbed digits is 50%

Explanation:

Given -

Syndactyly or webbed digits are due to the presence of  a dominant allele (S). Then the allele for normal digits would be represented by allele "s"

A normal man with normal digits and genotype "ss" marries a woman with webbed digits and has a hetrozygous genotype i.e "Ss"

If we cross Ss and ss , then the following offspring are produced -

Ss * ss

Ss, Ss, ss, ss

Out of four 2 offspring with genotype ss have normal digits and remaining two offspring with genotype "Ss" have webbed digits. Thus, the % of children with webbed digits is 50%
