Answer:

b. Pleiotropy

Explanation:

The term “pleiotropy“ refers to a situation in which variants in a single given gene have a number of different, seemingly unrelated effects in the resulting phenotype.

For instance: patients with mutations in the COL1A1 gene (codifying for collagen alpha-1 chain) may present with a genetic disease called “osteogenesis imperfecta”, characterized by (among other findings) bluish sclera, brittle bones, and deafness. All those disparate clinical manifestations may be traced back to the inability of the body to produce normal type 1 collagen.

A split-brain patient sees something in her left visual field, and must reach behind a screen and select the object from a group
choli [55]

A split-brain patient sees something in her left visual field and must go after a screen and choose the object from a group of objects. she will choose the object perfectly with her left hand.

<h3>What can a split-brain patient do if they see something in the left visual field?</h3>

The fact that split-brain patients can only accurately respond to stimuli in the left visual field with their left hand and to stimuli in the right visual field with their right hand and vocally is another important component of the conventional view.

Patients with split brains can still walk, swim, and ride a bike, which are motor abilities that need both sides of the body and were taught before the onset of their disorder. They can also pick up new skills that require them to move their fingers or hands in parallel or mirror images.

A split-brain patient must reach behind a screen and choose the object from a collection after spotting it in her left visual field. She will use her left hand to make the proper selection of the item.
