How can an injury to a peripheral nerve cause loss of both sensory and motor functions?

1 answer:

3 0

The reason is that peripheral nerves have both sensory and motor fibers.

Through these sensory fibers, peripheral nerves receive signal and send them to the brain. Also, through motor fibers, peripheral nerves send information to the muscles. When a peripheral nerve is damaged, the both functions will be lost.

[50 points... Will give brainliest] Explain how natural selection is impacted by genetic differences, variation, and survival.

kiruha [24]

Answer:

Because natural selection acts directly only on phenotypes, more genetic variation within a population usually enables more phenotypic variation. Some new alleles increase an organism's ability to survive and reproduce, which then ensures the survival of the allele in the population.

Natural selection is the process through which populations of living organisms adapt and change. Individuals in a population are naturally variable, meaning that they are all different in some ways. This variation means that some individuals have traits better suited to the environment than others.

Natural selection is a mechanism of evolution. Organisms that are more adapted to their environment are more likely to survive and pass on the genes that aided their success. This process causes species to change and diverge over time.

Food webs either start with producers on______ or with producers in _________?

Murljashka [212]

Answer:

Food webs either start with producers on land or with producers in water.

Explanation:

A food chain or a food web will always start with a producer and always end with a type of consumer. This is because producers are organisms which have the ability to make their own food. They are mostly plants or other producers like algae. Both aquatic and land food chains or food webs will start with a producer. An aquatic food web will generally start with a producer present in water. A land food web will mostly start with a producer from the land.
