Deep lesioning

Insertion of a thin insulated wire into the brain through which an electrical current is sent that destroys the brain cells at the tip of the wire is called deep lesioning.

Deep lesioning is a surgical procedure in which a small specific area of the brain is destroyed in order to provide treatment for certain disorders. Deep lesioning are used in the treatment of movement disorders such as Parkinson’s disease, dystonia and essential tremor. Several methods such as radiofrequency lesion, radiosurgery and focused ultrasound therapy are  used to cause deep lesion.

The population in South Africa is more prone to sickle cell anemia (genotype "ss"). People with genotype "ss" survive only up to
lions [1.4K]
The answer is stabilizing selection.

<span>Sickle-cell anemia is a recessive disorder caused by the presence of two recessive alleles "s", so genotype is "ss". This disorder is characterized by sickle hemoglobin. In an area with malaria, heterozygous individuals "Ss" (with one dominant allele and one recessive allele) have an advantage. These individuals will have both normal and sickle hemoglobin. But pathogen that causes malaria affect only normal hemoglobin, so heterozygous individuals will have half of the hemoglobin resistant to the pathogen and those individuals are resistant to malaria.</span>

Stabilizing selection favors heterozygotes Ss,  disruptive selection favors dominant (SS) and recessive (ss) homozygotes, while directional selection favors dominant (SS) or recessive (ss) homozygote. Since in this example, people with genotype Ss (heterozygotes) are in advantage, then this is an example of stabilizing selection.

In the diagram of the human digestive system, what organ is labelled 5?
il63 [147K]

Answer:

The large intestine

Explanation:

The large intestine is a long, tube-like organ connected to both the small intestine and the anus. In an anatomy drawing, it looks almost as if it is wrapped around the small intestine.

As we can see in the drawing, the organ labelled with 5 is wrapped around another organ which is smaller and looks longer. This smaller organ is the <em>small intestine</em>. Since we know that the large intestine <em>wraps around</em> the small intestine, we can infer that the organ is the large intestine.

Hopefully that was helpful! :)
