The central nervous system is made up of mainly the brain and the spinal cord while the peripheral nervous system is divided into two types which are sensory and motor neurons. The somatic nervous system is associated with voluntary nerves while the autonomic nervous system is also known as involuntary nervous system. The sympathetic nervous system increases or speeds up a process while the parasympathetic nervous system decreases or slows down a process.

Answer:

The correct match would be

1. central - the brain and spinal cord  

2. peripheral - sensory and motor neurons  

3. somatic - voluntary nerves  

4. autonomic - involuntary nerves

5. sympathetic - increases or speeds up a process

6. parasympathetic - decreases or slows down a process

The nervous system can be broadly classified into two categories:

  1. Central nervous system (CNS): It includes brain and spinal cord and is mainly involved in processing the stimulus and generating the response accordingly.
  2. Peripheral nervous system (PNS): It includes motor and sensory neurons which connect the body with CNS. Sensory neurons transport stimulus from receptors to the CNS and motor neurons transport response signals from CNS to the muscle or gland.

PNS can be further classified into three categories:

  • Somatic nervous system: It mainly controls the voluntary movements of the body.
  • Autonomic nervous system: It mainly controls the involuntary movements. It has two sub-parts; sympathetic nervous system (increases the heart rate, breathing rate et cetera during fight and flight conditions) and parasympathetic nervous system (decreases the speed of a process and is activated during the relaxed state).
  • Enteric nervous system: It mainly regulates the function of the gastrointestinal system.

List the 4 abiotic forms of nitrogen cycle and the chemical formula
weeeeeb [17]

Answer:

Four abiotic forms of nitrogen cycle and its chemical formula

Ammonium – NH^{4+}

Ammonia – NH^3

Nitrite – NO^2

Nitrate – NO^3

Explanation:

Ammonium: In the nitrogen cycle ammonium is starting point that is present in soil and are converted to various forms by different process.

Ammonia: In the process of nitrogen fixation, the bacteria having nitrogenase enzymes reacts with the nitrogen as well as hydrogen and produces the ammonia, which is further converted to organic compounds.

Nitrite: The nitrosomonas bacteria present helps in conversion of nitrogen gas into nitrite.

Nitrate: Again the Nitrite is converted into Nitrate by the nitrobacter. During the process of assimilation ammonium and nitrate are absorbed by the plants.

Fudgin [204]

Complete question:

In a separate study, 68 rock pocket mice were collected from four different, widely separated areas of dark lava rock. One collecting site was in Sonora, Mexico. The other three were in Chihuahua, Mexico. Dr. Nachman and colleagues observed no significant differences in the color of the rocks in the four locations sampled. However, the dark-colored mice from the three Chihuahua locations were slightly darker than the dark-colored mice from the Sonora population. The entire Mc1r gene was sequenced in all 68 of the mice collected. The mutations responsible for the dark fur color in the Sonora mice were absent from the three different populations of Chihuahua mice. No Mc1r mutations were associated with dark fur color in the Chihuahua populations. These findings suggest that adaptive dark coloration has occurred at least twice in the rock pocket mouse and that these similar phenotypic changes have different genetic bases.

How does this study support the  concept that natural selection is not random?  

Answer:

The study supports the  concept that natural selection is not random because in different areas with the same or very similar environmental characteristics, the same phenotype was produced by different types of mutations.  

Explanation:

All of the sampled animals are inhabiting dark substrate. Probably animals needed to camouflage to survive. Natural selection must have driven them to produce dark color, similar to the substrate color. So animals from the different regions suffered different mutations that drove them to have almost the same dark fur color. The environmental condition is favoring the same phenotype.
