Answer:

Neuroscientists conducted research with taxicab drivers in London and found that taxicab drivers, who are required to have a tremendous amount of spatial and geographic knowledge, had a larger <u>hippocampus</u> than other drivers.

Option D.hippocampus

Explanation:

Hippocampus is concerned with following important functions:

  • Storage of new information in the memory (converting short memories into long memories)
  • Comparing sensory information with what the brain expects about the world
  • Enabling us to form spatial memories for investigating the environment

As the geographic knowledge and spatial knowledge is being stored in the hippocampus, the taxi driver surely have greater hippocampus than other drivers.

How is the concept of homeostasis related to disease and aging?
tigry1 [53]
<span>The body is constantly changing, no matter what age. It has to maintain homeostasis, or balance at all times or illness/death occurs. If your body is weakened, it then becomes harder to maintain this state. If one component goes out of balance; ie, water content, it affects the whole body. Swelling(edema) CHF(serious heart problem) kidneys may be overtaxed/unable to release the extra fluid. As the body ages organs naturally become less efficient, therefore making homeostasis more challenging.</span>

Duchenne muscular dystrophy is a serious condition caused by a recessive allele of a gene on the human x chromosome. the patient
Dafna1 [17]
<span>Very very unlikely. Since the recessive allele is on the X chromosome, in order for a woman to have this condition, both copies of her X chromosome has to have the recessive allele. One copy of the allele would have to come from her mother, and the second copy from her father. The copy from her mother is a 50/50 chance if her mother was heterozygous with one copy of the recessive allele and one copy of a normal allele and therefore didn't exhibit the dystrophy and therefore didn't know she was a carrier. But the father only has 1 copy of the allele and therefore would exhibit the dystrophy and as such would be unlikely to have engaged in procreative sex that would pass on the defective allele to his offspring. This is especially true since duchenne muscular dystrophy will typically start to manifest itself in male children around starting around age 4.</span>
