Biology

cluponka [151]4 years ago

Answer:

The study of personality traits, mental tendencies, and talents as a consequence of skull curvature is termed as phrenology. It is regarded as a pseudoscience as it is devoid of scientific support for its claims. However, the study has contributed to medicine as its fundamental premise is that the mental activities are localized in the regions of the brain.  

Phrenology relies upon the concept that the brain refers to an organ of the mind and physical areas in the brain can offer something to the character of an individual. Apart from its popularity it was controversial and is now been discredited by science.

4) If a dead organism is preserved as a fossil, which body tissues are most likely to survive? Why?
IrinaVladis [17]
The answer is hard tissue.

Usually, hard tissue, such as bones and teeth or exoskeleton is much more preserved than soft tissue (organs, skin, etc.). Fossils become fossils by a process of mineralization. Hard tissues are more mineralized during life than organs. So it is no surprise that hard tissues take part in the process of mineralization and is preserved in fossils, unlike soft tissues.
