"what is the x-shaped structure that sits just below the brain's ventral surface and represents the merging of the optic nerves

from the two eyes
Biology

babunello [35]4 years ago
5 0
The X-shaped structure is the optic chiasma (part of the optic nerve).

Structure of the optical chiasma: 
The fibers from the ganglion cells of the nasal retina and the temporal retina come together and leave the eyeball to form the two optic nerves (forming an X-shape). Each optic nerve passes through the optic hole of the sphenoid bone and extends in and out of the skull. The two nerves meet at the front and above the pituitary to form the optic chiasma. At this level, fibers from the nasal retina intersect while those from the temporal retina continue in the same trajectory to form the two optical tracts.

What needs to happen to DNA for cells to divide
torisob [31]

Answer:

each new cell needs a DNA copy, which serves as instructions on how to function as a cell. DNA replicates before a cell divides. The replication process is semi-conservative, which means that when DNA creates a copy, half of the old strand is retained in the new strand to reduce the number of copy errors.

How are the fluke larvae transferred from the snail (invertebrate host) to the vertebrate host?
Vesna [10]
The eggs of the fluke are passed into water supplies from feces and urine of infected people. After hatching the parasite actively swims and invades the body of a snail, usually by penetrating through the snail's foot. The parasite requires the presence of certain species of snails (e.g., Oncomelania, Biomphalaria, Bulinus) to transform (and multiply) itself into an infective stage, called cercaria.
