The big question in this chapter is 'are fish intelligent?' Fish have small brains, in fact, they have the smallest brain relati

ve to body size of all vertebrates. Yet decisions are being made, important details and encounters are memorized, mental maps are constructed of a fish's varied environment, and fish learn by watching one another. Could it be that even a small neural circuitry generates intelligence and learning? A premise here, is that if evolution requires it, intelligent circuitry will be assembled in any brain, even ones with a small number of neurons. Now we begin exploring the evolution of intelligence, and trying to understand the ecological and social forces that may require or influence cognitive skills needed for success and survival in such an environment. An important body of evidence is what evolutionary biologists refer to as 'convergence. Many common physical traits are found in unrelated species because their environment and behaviors require them. That bats and birds both have wings is an example. It makes sense then, that convergent cognitive abilities would also arise. If organisms of all kinds share common cognitive skills such as social learning, teaching, planning for the future and inventing tools, then the neural complex necessary for these skills must develop in simple networks available across species. While neural complexity must align with and influence cognitive and behavioral complexity, common cognitive abilities shared by many species must also be possible with relatively simple brains. What fish studies in this chapter provide information about convergence and cognitive functioning? And what about Morgan's Canon? Its sort of like Ocham's Razor for evolutionary psychology - a principle of parsimony stating that scientists should look for the simplest explanation for an animal's behavior

2) Convergence studies to the network level include in the subjective compare to nature.  

3) According to the speculation that the natural qualities of fish networks are also identified with ecological conditions. In particular, to the perceptions of individual fish made at the miniaturized scale living space scale.

Nikolay [14]
In diseases, similar patterns of mutations in harmless genes may possibly be a cause or an effect of the disease. To investigate if it is a cause, it is worth looking into the proteins synthesized by the gene and whether it’s structure or functionality is affected by the pattern observed. It is also worth looking into the downstream effects possibly caused by the pattern in the gene. The gene may encode a non coding region which could affect post transcriptional splicing for example.

1.large biological macromolecules carry out several roles in the human body. What is one of these roles?
jeyben [28]

The correct answer is: D. all of the above

A macromolecule is a large molecule present in the cell, composed of a huge number of monomer units with the various functions. There are four main groups: proteins (monomers are amino acids), nucleic acids (monomers are nucleotids) , lipids (monomers are free fatty acids) and carbohydrates (monomers are simple sugars such as glucose).

Some of their functions:

• Provide structure on the cellular levels-lipids (phospholipids) are the main components of the cell membrane;  

• store genetic material-nucleic acid (DNA, RNA) are the carriers of genetic information

• store energy-starch is energy source in plants;

• enzymes -proteins often are with the functionin metabolism

• etc.
