The medial geniculate nucleus is the thalamic nucleus responsible for processing of somatosensory information from the body.

Answer:

False

Explanation:

Thalamic nuclei can be differentiated in their relationship to the cerebral cortex into specific thalamic nuclei (have links to very specific cerebral cortical areas) and nonspecific thalamic nuclei, which maintain connections to wider areas of the cortex.

These nuclei nuclei transmit impulses to the sensory areas of the brain, such as: the lateral geniculate body (nucleus) that will transmit visual impulses; the Medial Geniculate Body (nucleus), which will transmit auditory impulses; and the Posterior Ventral Body (nucleus) that will transmit impulses to taste and somatic sensations, such as touch, pressure, vibration, heat, cold and pain. Thus, we can conclude that the medial geniculate nucleus is the thalamic nucleus responsible for the transmission of auditory impulses.

Xelga [282]

Answer is YES your welcome

Explanation:

Core samples are most often taken with their long axis oriented roughly parallel to the axis of a borehole, or parallel to the gravity field for the gravity-driven tools. However it is also possible to take core samples from the wall of an existing borehole.

The sickle-cell allele produces a serious blood disease in homozygous recessive individuals. why doesn't natural selection elimi
icang [17]

No, the sickle-cell anemia allele won't be eliminated by natural selection.

Sickle-cell anemia trait is controlled by a single gene and the allele (S) for sickle-cell anemia is a harmful autosomal recessive.

It is caused by a mutation in the normal allele (A) for hemoglobin (a protein on red blood cells).

Heterozygotes (AS) with the sickle-cell allele are resistant to malaria, a deadly tropical disease. It is common in many African populations.

In these areas, (S) carriers have been naturally selected, because their red blood cells, containing some abnormal hemoglobin, tend to be in sickle shape when they are infected by the malarial parasite.

Therefore, they are more likely to survive and reproduce. This keeps the S allele in the gene pool.

What is a “spill-over” infection
Sav [38]

Explanation:

Spillover infection, also known as pathogen spillover and spillover event, occurs when a reservoir population with a high pathogen prevalence comes into contact with a novel host population. The pathogen is transmitted from the reservoir population and may or may not be transmitted within the host population.
