The brain is divided into lobes that carry out different kinds of functions. There are 5 lobes in the brain:

1. Frontal lobe: Concentration, planning, problem solving, etc are the function performed by this region of the human brain.

2. Parietal lobe: Touch, pressure, taste and body awareness is processed by this lobe.

3. Temporal lobe: Long-term memory, hearing, emotions are processed in this lobe.

4. Occipital lobe: Sight is processed in this lobe.

5. Cerebellum: Coordination and balance, fine motor control are performed by this part of the brain.

The modern neuroscience has also confirmed the presence of brain waves like the alpha, beta, theta and gamma rhythm that sweep across the different lobes and regions of the brain. These waves are known to result from the collective activity of neurons in each of the regions. The brain waves are studied to check the activity of the regions that are coordinating together to carry out a particular type of task.

Which of the following represents the correct format for the scientific name of an organism? Which of the following represents t

scZoUnD [109]

Answer:

Staphylococcus aureus

Explanation:

According to the rule of binomial nomenclature, the name of the organism is written in two parts that are-

1. Generic name- The first name which signifies the genus of the organism, the word represents the noun of the organism, the first letter of the word is always uppercase that is like in the "Staphylococcus"

2. The specific epithet-the second name of the organism represents the species which is usually a noun, and the first letter of species is always written in lowercase like in the aureus.

The scientific name should be written either in the italicised form or if not possible to write in the italicised form than underline the name.

Thus, Staphylococcus aureus is correct.

Summarize how the climate of the Miocene epoch impacted the evolution of hominins

andrezito [222]

Answer with Explanation:

The Miocene epoch was deeply characterized by seasonal conditions, such as having more colder winters in the northern areas.

In the late Miocene, open vegetation system expanded. These included grasslands, woodlands and shrublands. As a result, more primates inhabited the area. Several habitats became diverse from each other, thus allowing the species to adapt, including their locomotion. For example, the species who used to live on trees, turn towards living on land (terrestrial life). Certain animals also came about such as pigs, giraffes, monkeys, etc. Scavenging hominins also scattered. When it comes to hominins, a major type of locomotion evolved called "bipedalism." This allowed the hominins to walk using the lower limbs (two feet).
