Answer:

c. Damage to the primary (somatic) motor cortex results in the loss of both voluntary muscle control and all reflexive contractions.

Explanation:

The primary motor cortex is an area in the brain that is responsible for the control and regulation of activities that involves movement of the body as well as the postures they body takes which we also refer to as motor skills.

The primary motor cortex sends signals in the form of nerve impulses to the brain and this in turn helps in the maintenance of the motor skills that is carried out by the body.

Not only does the damage to the primary (somatic) motor cortex results in the loss of both voluntary muscle control and all reflexive contractions, it also causes other losses such as constant contraction of the muscles also know as spasticity, involuntary muscle contraction also referred to as clonus.

A sex linked trait can be defined by which genotypes. Choose all which apply.

attashe74 [19]

Answer:

a. Coded for on the X and Y chromosomes

b. Coded for on the X but not Y chromosome

c. Coded for on the Y but not X chromosome

Explanation:

The X and Y chromosomes are the sex chromosomes as they are involved in sex determination. All the genes that are present on the X and Y chromosomes are inherited along with these chromosomes and therefore, exhibit sex-linked inheritance.

X and Y chromosomes share a homologous region. Therefore, the sex-linked genes are defined as the ones present on both X and Y chromosomes as well as the ones that are present on either X or Y chromosomes.

For example, the gene for hemophilia is present on the X chromosome; but not on the Y chromosome. The SRY gene is present only on the Y chromosome.
