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.

Ratling [72]

The categories  of energy expenditure include the following:

  • Resting metabolic rate - This is the total number of calories burned when your body is completely at rest and accounts for 60-75 percent
  • Thermic effect of feeding - This happens during feeding in which the metabolic rate increases and heat is produced and accounts for 5-15 percent
  • The thermic effect of activity -  the amount of energy burned during all physical activity and accounts for 15-30 percent.

<h3>What is Energy expenditure?</h3>

You cross purple-flowered and white-flowered pea plants, and all offspring are purple. how come? select one:
Vaselesa [24]
To solve this problem on genetic dominance, we will need a punnet square.

Let's let P represent purple-flowered and p represent white-flowered.

We have one purple flowered plant with the alleles PP, and we have one white flowered plant with the alleles pp. Using a punnet square, we can determine the alleles of the offspring.

       <u>P</u>     <u>P</u>
p|    Pp   Pp

p |   Pp   Pp

As we can tell from our punnet square, all of our offspring will have purple flowers. This is because the purple-flower allele is dominant and the white-flowered allele is recessive.

Since each flower has a dominant and recessive allele, they are heterozygous.

Therefore, the solution to this problem is D.
