A person who undergoes split-brain surgery is most likely to do so in an effort to treat epileptic seizures that is unresponsive to drug treatments.

The split-brain surgery is a procedure that is performed to treat epileptic seizures which are caused by a disturbance in the electrical activity of the brain. The split-brain surgery involves cutting the corpus callosum (a group of fibers that connects the brain’s left and right hemispheres). After this procedure, the two hemispheres do not exchange information as adequately as before and it can lead to split-brain syndrome (a condition that influences behavior and agency).

In a sample of cells, the DNA content immediately following mitosis is measured and is equal to 10 picograms of DNA per nucleus.
Rasek [7]

Answer:

1. At the end of S phase- 20 pg DNA

2. At the end of G2 phase-  20 Pg DNA

Explanation:

The cell before undergoing M phase undergoes the steps of interphase that is G₁, S and G₂ phase.

During S phase, the process of cell replication takes place which replicates the DNA as a result of which the amount of DNA doubles. This DNA amount is reduced to half during the anaphase stage of M phase.

In the question since the amount of DNA is 10pg therefore the amount will be double during S phase and becomes 20 pg and will remain 20 pg until the DNA is distributed therefore at the end of G₂ phase Will remain the 20 pg.

Which of the following best describes gross primary productivity in an ecosystem?A. Gross primary productivity is the total amou
marusya05 [52]

Answer:

D. Gross primary productivity is the total amount of solar energy captured by producers through photosynthesis over time.

Explanation:

The gross primary productivity of an ecosystem represents the rate at which the producers of the system capture the solar energy so that they can perform the process of photosynthesis. Therefore, GPP is the total amount of photosynthetic energy captured per unit area over a given time period. Producers consume the part of the GPP for their own respiration and maintenance. Therefore, gross primary productivity is the sum total of the growth of producers per unit area per unit time and the energy used by them for respiration.
