<h2>Answer is Option "A"</h2>

Explanation:

  • Genetic variation is the variation in alleles and genes, both within and among populations. Think of a population as a family unit. Within your family of closely-related individuals there is genetic variation. Within a neighbourhood, there are many families, and so there is also genetic variation among that larger group
  • Genetic variation can be identified through either continuous or discrete traits. Continuous traits are traits that vary continuously, such as height and weight. Discrete traits are traits that can only be measured discretely, such as tongue rolling; you either can or can't do this
  • There are three sources of genetic variation: mutation, gene flow, and sexual reproduction.A mutation is simply a change in the DNA. Mutations themselves are not very common and are usually harmful to a population.Because of this, mutations are usually selected against through evolutionary processes
  • Hence, the right answer is option A "genetic variation among individuals"

Is the vagus nerve the heart rate centre of the brain?
koban [17]

Answer:

The vagus nerve has two bunches of sensory nerve cell bodies, and it connects the brain stem to the body. It allows the brain to monitor and receive information about several of the body’s different functions.

Explanation:

The vagus nerve is the longest and most complex of the 12 pairs of cranial nerves that emanate from the brain. It transmits information to or from the surface of the brain to tissues and organs elsewhere in the body.

There are multiple nervous system functions provided by the vagus nerve and its related parts. The vagus nerve functions contribute to the autonomic nervous system, which consists of the parasympathetic and sympathetic parts

The vagus nerve has a number of different functions. The four key functions of the vagus nerve are:

-Sensory: From the throat, heart, lungs, and abdomen.

-Special sensory: Provides taste sensation behind the tongue.

-Motor: Provides movement functions for the muscles in the neck responsible for swallowing and speech.

-Parasympathetic: Responsible for the digestive tract, respiration, and heart rate functioning.
