A goal of using animal models is to explain the molecular detail of specific behaviors encoded in the human brain. How would you

Answer:

It is possible to compare the expression of homologous genes in the brain of <em>D. melanoganster</em> and humans, because the expression levels of conserved genes may be associated with the evolution of cognitive features such as complex learning and memory.  

Explanation:

Model organisms can be used to understand the patterns and processes that affect human evolution. <em>Drosophila melanogaster </em>is a model organism that has been used to study expression patterns of conserved genes in the course of evolution. This model organism has also been used to develop genetic mutant lines in order to examine the role of genes evolutionarily conserved in animals, including those involved in neurocognitive development.

In genetic research, an experiment as the above described is framed in a research field named 'Behavioral Genetics', which is a discipline that studies how evolutionarily conserved gene networks may be associated with neurocognitive tasks during brain evolution.

For sucrose to be moved from a leaf (source) cell to a root (sink) cell, sucrose is first actively transported into the phloem f
Natali5045456 [20]

Answer:water diffuses into the phloem from the xylem and sucrose moves to the sink

Explanation:Translocation is the movement of ready produced food substances from the site of production to places in the plant where food is needed. such as the roots.the place where food is produced is called the source, the the place where food is used up is called the sink.the leaves are the source in a plant.photsoynthates, which is the plant manufactired food, may move up and down the stem ,majorly to areas of storage and growth.

Surose is the major intermediate product of photosynthesis.it is the form in which sugar is transported.it is conducted by the phloem vessels.this takes place in the long sieve elements that forms the sieve tubes

The high percentage of sucrose in the phloem sap causes water to pass into it from the xylem. This then causes the sap to move from source to sink.

At the sink, sucrose diffuses out of the phloem.it is either stored up or used for growth and repairs

If there is a high concentration of reducing sugar, Benedict’s solution will turn _______. A. Green B. Orange C. Red D. Blue
geniusboy [140]

Answer: In lab, we used Benedict's reagent to test for one particular reducing sugar: glucose. Benedict's reagent starts out aqua-blue. As it is heated in the presence of reducing sugars, it turns yellow to orange. The "hotter" the final color of the reagent, the higher the concentration of reducing sugar.
