Gray matter consists of the <u>unmyelinated axons</u> of neurons.
<u>Explanation:</u>
The outer layer of the brain consists of the grey matter and white matter. The grey matter gets its name by the pinkish grey colour obtained by the greyish colour of the neurons and the red colour from the capillaries.
The grey matter consists of the dentrites, axons and cell bodies and this is essential for memory, attention and learning.
The unmyelinated axons are not covered by the fat protein myelin and these axons carry signals.They are the ones to help the processing of information in the brain.
Complete question:
In the US, 1 in 1700 Caucasian children will be born with the monogenic hereditary disorder Cystic Fibrosis (CF), a pathology that results in an accumulation of abnormally sticky and thick mucus affecting the lungs and digestive system. Consider a small isolated community in Appalachia where most of the population lives below the poverty level and where adults have a higher rate of CF that the national average since the people tend to marry neighbors. The general practitioner for the county receives a Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation Grant to ascertain how many children in the community inherited cystic fibrosis from their parents. Out of 172 children tested, she finds 38 have CF. Remember that Mendel believed in diagnostic ratios for understanding inheritance outcome although other factors can come into play like assortative mating.
Based on the testing outcome, give your opinion on whether you think Cystic Fibrosis is a dominant or recessive disorder.
A.Probably dominant.
B.Probably recessive.
C. Neither
D. Not enough information
