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.

What did Mendel's cross pollination of pea plants prove
pashok25 [27]

Answer: The correct answer is- D certain factors are dominant and other factors are recessive.

Mendel was interested in knowing the offspring that is produced from the cross pollination (that is from two different plants) as he wanted to study different traits of pea plant.

For doing so, he first removed the anthers of one plant (to prevent self pollination) and then transferred the pollens of one plant into the stigma of another plant.

When he allowed the cross pollination of purebred pea plant with other plant, he observed that some factors are dominant (such as tall height of pea plant, which masks the expression of recessive factors) and other are recessive (such as dwarf height of pea plant).

Thus, option D) is the right answer.

The genes that masks the effects of other genes
kicyunya [14]

epistatic gene

Explanation:

Some genes mask the expression of other genes just as a fully dominant allele masks the expression of its recessive counterpart. A gene that masks the phenotypic effect of another gene is called an epistatic gene; the gene it subordinates is the hypostatic gene.
