What is meant by the notion of a critical period for language acquisition?

Biology
1 answer:
Alik [6]3 years ago
7 0
In childhood for many organisms, there is a "critical period," which is when important learning of certain skills occurs.

The critical period of language learning is a period in the first few years that is crucial for learning a language (language acquisition). After this period, it becomes harder and harder to learn a new language. This is why some immigrants that immigrate later in their lifetime struggle to completely grasp a new language.

Name four factors that affect population growth then explain how each factor contributes to population growth
daser333 [38]

Answer:

Contraceptive Education/Availability, Healthcare, Country Development, and Political Climate

Explanation:

When people are educated about proper contraceptive use they can still have sex without the consequence of pregnancy. The availability of contraceptives goes hand in hand with contraceptive education.

Advanced healthcare can help prevent disease through immunizations and further the life expectancy of the country's population. Hand washing can significantly lower the spread of disease.

The lower the development of a country the higher the birth rate is, while the higher the developed countries have a lower birth rate and their life expectancy is much longer.

The political climate of a country can greatly affect the population growth. The more negative the political climate is usually causes a smaller birth rate. For example when China implemented the one child policy their population growth declined;.

Which of the following statements about peptide bonds are true? 1) A tetrapeptide contains five amino acid residues. 2) Peptide
Y_Kistochka [10]

The correct answers are:

2) Peptide bonds form from nucleophilic attack by an electron pair on an alpha - amino nitrogen atom on an alpha - carboxyl carbon atom of another amino acid and

4) Peptides are polymers of amino acids.

A peptide bond is an amide type of covalent chemical bond. It is formed between two amino acids:  C1 (carbon end) of one alpha-amino acid and N2 (nitrogen end) of another. Peptide bonds are the basis for the formation of a peptide chain and consequently protein.  Formation of peptide bond is a condensation process, meaning that when two amino acids combine and link, water molecule is released and dipeptide is a product of that reaction.

There is about 1,000 times as much DNA in a human cell as in a bacterial cell, but only 5 times as many genes. What accounts for
chubhunter [2.5K]

Answer:

Phenotypic plasticity

Explanation:

Humans have evolved over thousands of years to adapt to various environmental changes. For example, when we are in an environment that requires certain level of adaptation our off spring often formalizes epigenetic traits that lows them to overcome small changes in the environment. Over time certain genes that are turned on may remain on and eventually the ones that are off remains off. This give rise to some genes that "don't work"  after millions of years of such evolution we end up with a complex genome with more DNA than "working genes".
