Answer:

d.The wing-assisted incline running theory postulates that wings were initially used to maintain balance while climbing up slopes.

Explanation:

Two theories were given to explain the origin of avian flight. The top-down theory suggested that the birds' ancestors were tree dwelling species. They took help of wings to glide from tree to tree in order to avoid predator or catch prey. The bottom up theory suggested that the birds' ancestors were ground dwelling species. They took help of wings to maintain a balance and provide a lift for efficient running.

Wing-assisted incline running was a mixture of both the above theories and gave a balanced view point. According to it, birds' ancestors used wings to maintain a balance while running up inclined slopes. The wings helped them to save energy while scaling slopes and eventually a flight mechanism was also developed.

________ are neurons in the brain's visual system that respond to particular features of a stimulus.
forsale [732]

Answer:

The cells of the visual cortex are neurons in the brain's visual system that respond to particular features of a stimulus.

Explanation:

These neurons respond to stimuli presented to both eyes. Simple cells receive innervation directly from thalamic cells and respond to light stimuli with defined orientation and with specific configuration and location in the visual field. Complex cells also respond to the orientation parameter.  

These cells trigger action potentials when the visual stimulus appears within their receptive field.
