Answer:

The correct answer is (B) A larger area of the sensory cortex is associated with our lips.

Explanation:

All the sensory inputs that come from the body is received by the somatosensory cortex. Neurons are responsible for sensing the perception of touch, heat, pains, etc on any body part and pass the information to the somatosensory cortex where the information gets processed.

Our lips contain many nerve endings and nerves which makes it very sensitive towards touch, warm, and cold. So due to the large number of nerve in lips it is considered as an erogenous zone which states that this area is very highly sensitive. So the correct answer is B.

The founder principle explains how rare alleles and certain combinations of alleles may be enhanced in new
AlexFokin [52]
Alleles are the alternative form of a gene that code for a given trait, the alleles may be dominant or recessive or exhibit incomplete dominance. When two alleles are similar they are referred to as homozygous while they are not similar they are referred to as heterozygous. Based on the founder effect, rare alleles and combinations may be improved in new populations because of the reduced size of the initial population.
